1.1This specification covers aluminum-alloy high-strength castings designated as shown inTable 1. 1.2Castings covered by this specification are intended for use in airframe, missile, and other critical applications where high strength, ductility, and sound castings are required. 1.3Alloy and temper designations are in accordance with ANSI H35.1/H35.1 (M). 1.4Unless the order specifies the “M” specification designation, the material shall be furnished to the inch-pound units. 1.5For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminum and aluminum alloys and their properties in this specification, seeAnnex A1andAnnex A2. 1.6Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. 1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.8This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
