SAE Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS)

SAE Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS) cover materials, material tolerances, and quality control procedures and processes. They list chemical composition, detailed technical requirements, and cross reference similar specifications and materials corrosion and heat resistant steels, wrought low-alloy steels, cast iron and low-alloy steels, aluminum, magnesium, copper, titanium, and miscellaneous nonferrous alloys, nonmetallics, special property materials, and reactive materials.

SAE International regularly publishes a list of new and revised aerospace material specification standards. The SAE International standards classification system provides a detailed explanation of the status categories that are applied to each published standard. Also, our Standards Development brochure provides more in-depth information about the benefits SAE Standards bring to the aerospace industry.

SAE International has been an integral partner with the military in the conversion of military specifications for commercial applications. For a current list of converted military standards, visit the SAE website at http://www.sae.org/standardsdev/military
