5Cr-Mo-V Aircraft Steel Q&T
Verifiedmetal5Cr-Mo-V is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy steel used for critical aircraft structural components and fasteners, specified under AMS 6437/6487/6488. The Q&T (quenched and tempered) condition provides high yield strength (typically 1,380–1,860 MPa depending on section size), excellent fracture toughness, and reliable bearing strength for landing gear, wing attachments, and high-strength fastener applications.

Quality & Standards
Industry-Specific
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
