AMS 5655 - 422 Stainless Steel Bars and Forgings
AMS 5655 deals with 422 Stainless Steel, a martensitic steel used for severe service applications at elevated temperatures, as much as 1200°F (649°C). Fighter Jet Metals provides 422 Stainless Steel that is hardened and tempered for optimal performance.
Consistent with AMS 5655 specifications, 422 Stainless Steel has the necessary mechanical properties along with satisfactory oxidation and creep resistance. Its composition includes chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium, which are all recognized for their ability to enhance stability and resist scaling in high-temperature service if the steel is correctly heat treated.
Applications of 422 Stainless Steel
- Steam and Gas Turbine Blades and Buckets
- Compressor and Engine Shafts
- High-Temperature Bolting and Fasteners
- Aerospace Structural Hardware
- Valves, Seals, and Hot-Section Components
Why AMS 5655 Matters
AMS 5655 specifies the composition, heat treating, and mechanical properties of 422 stainless steel. It covers the processing of bars, forgings, and rings for high-stress, high-temperature applications. Fighter Jet Metals offers materials that can be traced to this specification and have been tested for tensile strength, hardness, and microstructure to meet the demands of the aerospace and defense industries.
