(MIL), federal, Aerospace Materials Specifications (AMS) published by the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME), and American Welding Society (AWS) (for welding electrodes
and rods). The MIL and federal specifications are being phased out�
mercifully, since they often duplicated private-sector specifications�but in
many cases, AMS has merely replaced the federal spec prefix with ��AMS��
and continues to publish it.
Of these, the ASTM specifications are probably the most widely used. Most
ASTM aluminum-material specifications include a number of different alloys
and tempers. What these alloys have in common in a given ASTM specification
is that each is used to make the product covered by the specification.
For example, ASTM B210 (50) is for aluminum drawn seamless tubes and
includes alloys 1100, 2014, 3003, 5005, 5050, and 6061. The ASTM specifications
and alloys listed in the Aluminum Specification are tabulated in Table
4.5.
