What material is AMS 5596?
AMS 5596 is a designation of Nickel Inconel 718, itself a nickel-chromium alloy with high strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance, and excellent tensile and impact strength at cryogenic temperatures. Full chemical composition is 52.5Ni – 19Cr – 3.0Mo – 5.1Cb (Nb) – 0.90Ti – 0.50Al – 18Fe.
What is the AMS 5596 equivalent to?
The AMS 5596 equivalent is primarily Inconel 718 (Alloy 718), a high-strength, corrosion-resistant nickel-chromium alloy known for its excellent properties at extreme temperatures (cryogenic to 1300°F/704°C) and used for aerospace parts, with key identifiers being UNS N07718 and German standard Werkstoff Nr. 2.4668.
