HMS 6-1105 - Hughes Aircraft PH 13-8Mo Stainless Steel
The HMS 6-1105 specification defines the Hughes Aircraft requirement for PH 13-8Mo, which is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel used in many critical industries, particularly in the aerospace industry. This specification is primarily concerned with ensuring that parts made of PH 13-8Mo meet high standards for performance, particularly with regard to strength, corrosion resistance, and impact toughness.
The HMS 6-1105 specification covers stainless steel bars, forgings, and structural parts, particularly those produced by the process of vacuum induction melting (VIM) followed by electro slag remelting (ESR), which produces parts with high purity, composition control, and consistency of properties, particularly for the aerospace industry, which requires parts to withstand high stress and exposure to hostile environments.
History of Hughes Aircraft
Why is a Hughes Aircraft specification being called out for your project involving PH 13-8 Mo Stainless Steel? In 1932 Howard Hughes founded Hughes Aircraft famous for building the H-1 Racer among other aircraft which revolutionized the Aerospace industry:
Legacy of Hughes Aircraft
Through years of mergers and acquisitions, Hughes Aircraft sold bits and pieces of its product lines to companies like Raytheon, General Motors, Boeing (Space), and other major Aerospace corporations that are responsible for Air Traffic Control systems as well as Satellites manufacturing.
