F condition: Original-developer F mechanical range for 3 mm wall thickness. The three marginal property intervals are not paired specimen coordinates or their midpoint. The source does not specify test temperature or a specimen count for this summary row; do not infer a day-20 F age or a particular T5 cycle.

T5 condition: Original-developer T5 mechanical range for 3 mm wall thickness. The three marginal property intervals are not paired specimen coordinates or their midpoint. The source does not specify test temperature or a specimen count for this summary row; do not infer a day-20 F age or a particular T5 cycle.

Chemical composition

Only reviewed weight-percent bounds are listed. A blank bound means only the other threshold was reported.

The 2018 original-developer handbook p. 23 gives ingot composition in mass %. “Mo; Be” are named under others without numeric limits and are not assigned percentages. The same page gives F and T5 mechanical ranges for 3 mm walls but does not state the exact age of every F specimen or the T5 cycle. Physical-data test temperature and temper are not specified.
