DMS 1583 - 6Al-4V Titanium Alloy Sheet and Plate (McDonnell Douglas/Boeing)
DMS 1583 is the McDonnell Douglas / Boeing Material Specification for 6Al-4V Titanium Alloy sheet and plate in the annealed condition. This specification covers the procurement requirements for titanium sheet and plate used in Boeing and McDonnell Douglas airframe structural skin, floor panels, and structural components.
Material per DMS 1583 is equivalent to AMS 4931 annealed sheet in chemistry and mechanical properties, qualified to the Boeing/MDC supplier approval process. Both designations are commonly listed as acceptable alternatives on Boeing engineering drawings.
6Al-4V is recommended for use at temperatures from -350° to 750°F (-210° to 400°C). Applications outside this temperature range are possible in certain situations. The alloy is weldable. Complex shapes can be made via hot forming. It machines like an austenitic stainless steel.
