Saw cuts and machining allowance

Our standard saw-cut tolerance is +1/8″ / −0″ on cut length and width. Allow material for facing and finish machining. A different tolerance agreed on your order takes precedence.

Plate thickness, flatness and surface condition follow the supplied mill or producer specification. Full mill-stock pieces ship uncut and retain mill tolerances.

Mill certificates with your order

Mill certifications are included. Open or download certificates for your assigned material from My Orders once available. Specify DFARS or Domestic when your order requires it.

Choosing a temper

7050 is used for thick aerospace plate where strength, toughness and stress-corrosion performance matter. Its lower quench sensitivity is useful in thicker sections.

7050-T7451 plate is associated with AMS 4050. T7451 and T7651 are distinct overaged, stress-relieved tempers: T7451 offers better stress-corrosion resistance, while T7651 offers higher typical strength. Select the exact temper the drawing requires; they are not interchangeable.

Machining and applications

Carbide tooling and cutting fluid are useful for heavy cuts and deep pockets. Confirm machining allowance and grain direction before ordering. Large pockets and thin finished walls benefit from a planned roughing sequence. Typical manufacturer values are not design allowables or guaranteed minima.
