ABS5443 - Airbus Specification for INCONEL 718 Bars & Forgings
ABS5443 is, in particular, the Airbus Material Specification covering INCONEL 718 (UNS N07718) when used in bars, forgings, and rings. It attempts to achieve high-strength properties in high-temperature applications, especially in aerospace environments, both within engine components and structural parts. It is positioned in close proximity to AMS 5662 and AMS 5663, providing a high standard of functionality in aerospace operations.
Nickel-chromium alloy INCONEL 718 has good properties that allow it to respond to the precipitation hardening process. Oxidation resistance, fatigue strength, and good creep rupture strength of 1300°F (704°C) are significant advantages of INCONEL 718. Components that make use of the applications of INCONEL 718 include aircraft parts such as engine shafts, turbine discs, as well as various fasteners used in the field.
Airbus Quality and Compliance
As a Tier 1 Aerospace company, Airbus holds its subcontractors to the same standards by ensuring they source material per ABS5443 from approved sources. This creates accountability and ensures the highest quality standards are achieved in the manufacturing process.
What are the primary uses of ABS5443 material?
ABS5443 is widely used in engine shafts, turbine discs, and high-temperature fasteners in Airbus platforms.
