Drawing note with quotes

[Dale_Youngs]

I have an old drawing with a note that specifies the heat treatment of the part. Part of the information is in quotes - "H900". Does anyone know what quotes mean in a drawing note?

Op
Is there an other note that specifies heat treat spec.

 

[Dale_Youngs]

The problem is the rest of the note gives some conflicting requirements in a hardness range and a BAC spec. I cant find any interpretation of quotes in a note that would indicate it would be reference or guidance, but I suspect it was the intent. The problem is that the drawing is so old I cant ask what the intent was.

Op
The spec must specify the heat treatment and hardness. Regardless
If it is old ask customer engineering to clarify. Do not guess.
Parenthesis is reference. I believe it was on an old military spec.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing an old convention.

Poster is seriously skimpy on info.

Obviously H900 is SStl PHT. There should be a general note or reference on the drawing to a Boeing spec of some kind... in the PL or general notes or 'stock-printed' block somewhere on the drawing face.

WHAT SStl Material/alloy?

/NOTE/ from my days working for USAF: if this is an old Boeing drawing, there may be areas that are illegible... might have to request a checked/verified legible copy of the vellum drawing in the archives.

/CAUTION/ My company no longer allows PHT H900 for 95% of SStl components. H900 = high strength/hardness, low ductility = low fracture toughness and poor SCC resistance. The ONLY exceptions I'm aware of are for parts in pure bearing/compression, like bushings and bearing races.

AMS2759/3 precipitation harden

mfg... RE OP post #3...

Mentions 'BAC'... suggests this is a Boeing drawing.

AMS2759/* would likely not apply. However, MIL-H-6875 might apply... if drawing is old-enough.
