Custom 465 Conditions and Specifications
- Condition A bar (AMS 5936): solution treated for machining. A refrigeration step and aging follow to develop full strength.
- Aged conditions H900 to H1000 (AMS 5936): H900 gives maximum strength; H950 and H1000 add toughness and stress-corrosion resistance.
- Melting practice (VIM/VAR): double vacuum melted for cleanliness and consistent properties.

Typical Properties of Custom 465 (H950)
- Ultimate tensile strength: about 250 ksi (1720 MPa)
- Yield strength: about 225 ksi (1550 MPa)
- Elongation: about 12%
- Hardness: about 50 HRC
- Density: 0.282 lb/in³ (7.83 g/cm³)
- Chemistry: about 11.5% chromium, 11% nickel, 1% molybdenum and 1.6% titanium
These are typical values for Custom 465 in the H950 condition. Guaranteed minimums vary by specification, condition and size, so check the governing spec or your mill cert for design values.
Why Aerospace Engineers Choose Custom 465
Custom 465 delivers strength approaching low-alloy aircraft steels with the corrosion resistance of a stainless steel, so parts can often run without cadmium plating. Its toughness at high strength is better than Custom 455 or 13-8Mo stainless steel, which makes it a favorite for flight-critical parts. Common uses for Custom 465 include:
- Landing gear and flap and slat track components
- Actuators and aircraft fasteners
- Medical and surgical instruments
- Defense and high-performance motorsport parts
Custom 465 Stainless Steel FAQs
Why is Custom 465 used instead of 4340 steel?
It offers comparable strength with stainless corrosion resistance, which can eliminate plating and reduce corrosion maintenance on aircraft parts.
What is the refrigeration step for Custom 465?
After solution treatment, the material is cooled well below zero to complete the transformation to martensite before aging. Follow the governing spec for the exact cycle.
How does Custom 465 compare with 13-8Mo?
Both are vacuum-melted PH stainless steels. Custom 465 typically reaches higher strength with similar or better toughness. 13-8Mo remains widely specified on existing aerospace designs.
