There has been a great deal of confusion in all the race industry frame communities regarding the terminology and manufacturing methods specified in MIL/AMS-T-6736B. The goal of this paper is to clarify what the five types specified in the standard intend, options/requirements of how to develop the mechanical properties for each and their effect on the manufacturing processes involved.
In 1965, a new revision for the MIL-T-6736 specification was introduced. Revision “B”, like its predecessor, was for “Tubing, Chrome-Molybdenum, 4130 Steel, Seamless and Welded, Aircraft Quality”. All iterations were designed from the production of tubing for use in aircraft framing.
