This specification covers a corrosion- and heat-resistant nickel alloy in the form of sheet, strip, and plate 1.000 inch (25.40 mm) and under in nominal thickness.
Rationale:
AMS5606G is the result of a Five-Year Review and update of the specification. The revision updates composition testing and reporting (see 3.1 and 3.1.1), revises the finish requirements (see 3.3.1), adds continuous heat-treatment requirements (see 3.4.1), clarifies bending requirements (see 3.5.1.3), adds strain rate control during tensile testing (see 3.5.2.1.1), adds pyrometry controls (see 3.4 and 3.5.2), adds minimum thickness requirements and updates mechanical testing (see 3.5.1.1, 3.5.1.2, 3.5.2, 3.5.2.2, and 8.2), prohibits unauthorized exceptions (see 1.1, 3.5.3, 3.8, 4.4.1, and 8.5), and allows the use of prior revisions (see 8.4).
