| Property | S basis | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Ftu, L and LT | 50 | ksi |
| Fty, L and LT | 40 | ksi |
| Elongation, L and LT (0.025 in and over) | 20 | % |

The handbook labels the four sheet strength levels CP-4 to CP-1, with minimum Ftu of 35, 50, 65 and 80 ksi; this page assigns them to Grades 1 to 4 by strength, as ASTM B265 does. Check the spec on your certificate: the handbook yield figures are the AMS and MIL-T-9046 minimums and may differ from ASTM B265 minimums.
Notes from the guide
- Annealed values. Forming and heat change them.
- Not a substitute for an alloy grade or for aluminum; the drawing names the grade.
