RATIONALE

AMS5666K is the result of a Five-Year Review and update of the specification. The revision updates the title to match the
scope, updates terminology on size (1 .1 , 3.3.1 ), revises composition reporting (3.1 .1 ), adds condition (3.2.1 ), revises testing
(3.3.1 .1 ), prohibits unauthorized exceptions (3.3.1 .4, 3.7, 4.4.3, 5.2.1 .1 , 8.6), controls strain rate during testing (3.3.1 .1 .1 ),
updates definitions (8.3), adds extrusions (8.7), and allows prior revisions (8.5).

1 . SCOPE

1 .1 Form

This specification covers a corrosion- and heat-resistant nickel alloy in the form of bars, forgings, extrusions, flash welded
rings up to 1 0 inches (254 mm) in diameter, thickness, or for hexagons, least distance between parallel sides, and stock of
any size for forgings, extrusions, and rings.

1 .2 Application

These products have been used typically for parts requiring both corrosion and oxidation resistance up to 2000 °F (1 093 °C)
and where such parts may require welding during fabrication, but usage is not limited to such applications.

2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

The issue of the following documents in effect on the date of the purchase order forms a part of this specification to the
extent specified herein. The supplier may work to a subsequent revision of a document unless a specific document issue is
specified. When the referenced document has been cancelled and no superseding document has been specified, the last
published issue of that document shall apply.

3.1 .1 Producer may test for any element not listed in Table 1 and include this analysis in the report of 4.4. Reporting of
any element not listed in the composition table is not a basis for rejection, unless limits of acceptability are specified
by the purchaser.
3.1 .2 Check Analysis
Composition variations shall meet the applicable requirements of AMS2269.
3.2 Condition
3.2.1 Bars
The product shall be supplied in the following condition:
3.2.1 .1 Hot or cold finished and annealed; round bars shall be ground or turned.
3.2.1 .2 Bars shall not be cut from plate (also see 4.4.1 .1 ).
3.2.2 Forgings, Extrusions, and Flash Welded Rings
Annealed.
3.2.2.1 Flash welded rings shall not be supplied unless specified or permitted on purchaser's part drawing. When
supplied, rings shall be manufactured in accordance with AMS7490.
3.2.3 Stock for Forging, Extruding, or Flash Welded Rings
As ordered by the forging, extrusion, or flash welded ring manufacturer.
3.3 Properties
The product shall conform to the following requirements:
3.3.1 Bars, Forgings, and Flash Welded Rings
3.3.1 .1 Tensile Properties
Shall be as shown in Table 2, determined in accordance with ASTM E8/E8M on specimens taken in the longitudinal direction
from product 1 0 inches (254 mm) and under in diameter, thickness, or for hexagons, least distance between parallel sides.
Table 2 - Minimum tensile properties

3.3.1 .1 .1 Unless otherwise specified, the strain rate shall be set at 0.005 in/in/min (0.005 mm/mm/min) and maintained
within a tolerance of ±0.002 in/in/min (0.002 mm/mm/min) through 0.2% offset yield strain. After the yield strain,
the speed of the testing machine shall be set between 0.05 in/in and 0.5 in/in (0.05 mm/mm and 0.5 mm/mm)
of the length of the reduced section (or distance between the grips for specimens not having a reduced section)
per minute. Alternatively, an extensometer and strain rate indicator may be used to set the strain rate between
0.05 in/in/min and 0.5 in/in/min (0.05 mm/mm/min and 0.5 mm/mm/min). The requirement for compliance
becomes effective for material produced 1 year after the publication date of this specification.
