PH13-8Mo per AMS 5629
AMS 5629 is a specification covering PH13-8Mo Stainless Steel, Corrosion-Resistant, Bars, Wire, Forgings, Rings, and Extrusions in the Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) and then Consumable Electrode Melted (CEM), Solution Heat Treated (Annealed) Condition, while also being Precipitation Hardenable
PH13-8 Mo Stainless Steel per AMS 5629
PH13-8 Mo per AMS 5629 Stainless Steel (UNS S13800) is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel that has excellent strength, high hardness, superior toughness, and good corrosion resistance. Good transverse toughness properties are achieved by tight chemical composition control, low carbon content, and vacuum melting. The alloy is produced by vacuum induction melting (VIM) followed by electro-slag remelting (ESR). As a result of this melt practice, excellent macro- and microcleanliness is achieved, and tight compositional control is implemented.
The strengthening mechanism of AMS 5629 (precipitation hardening in a martensitic matrix) makes it possible to achieve uniform strengthening in heavy sections. Strength and ductility levels can be tailored to the application by varying the aging temperature.
PH13-8Mo per AMS 5629 is martensitic in structure in the solution annealed condition and is further strengthened by a relatively low temperature heat treatment, which precipitates a strengthening phase in the alloy. Compared to 17-4PH, PH13-8Mo requires only a simple heat treatment, a one step process conducted at a temperature in the range 950°F (510°C) to 1150°F (620°C) depending on the combination of strength and toughness desired.
Applications of AMS 5629
LANDING GEAR
In landing gear, PH13-8Mo stainless steel per AMS 5629 can be used for the structural components, such as the struts and actuators. Its high strength and toughness make it suitable for withstanding the stresses of landing and takeoff.
AEROSPACE FASTENERS
Fasteners made from PH 13-8 Mo stainless steel are also used in the aerospace industry due to the high strength and corrosion resistance of the alloy. These fasteners can be used to hold together structural components of an aircraft, such as the wings and fuselage.
AIRCRAFT ENGINE PARTS
PH 13-8 Mo stainless steel per AMS 5629 is also used for aircraft engine parts, such as valve components and pump shafts. Its high strength and corrosion resistance make it suitable for use in the high-stress and high-temperature environment of an aircraft engine.
