Form

This specification covers a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of two types of aircraft tubing.

Application

This tubing has been used typically in the fabrication of aircraft structural parts requiring good corrosion resistance, but usage is not limited to such applications. This tubing is not suitable for use in applications requiring flaring or sharp bends. Welding or other exposure over 800 °F (427 °C) during fabrication may impair corrosion resistance.

Classification

Tubing covered by this specification is classified as follows:

Type 1 - Seamless and drawn

Type 2 - Welded and drawn

Unless a specific type is ordered, either type may be supplied.
