Letter 39060
AMS, MIL-SPEC CONVERSION TABLES
++++++
I am hoping that someone can direct me to a publication, website,
etc... that will show substitutions and or equivalent specs from
Mil-Spec to AMS or vica versa. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You're treading on dangerous territory. While the title of the
specifications might be comparable, the processes, requirements, test
methodology, sampling plans, etc. are typically quite different. Just
take EN for example: ASTM
B733 [link is to spec at TechStreet] divides electroless
nickel into 5 grades according to phosphorus content;
AMS-2405 [link is to spec at TechStreet] differentiates
electroless nickel it covers by using the term "LOW PHOS" in its
title and states this as those EN's with 8% or less (this certainly
isn't LOW PHOS EN as we know it today!); and the MIL spec makes no
mention of phos content. Also, the MIL spec requires EN to have 100
hours of corrosion resistance while
AMS2404 [link is to spec at TechStreet] only requires 48
hours. So is EN per
Mil-C-26074 [link is to spec at TechStreet] or EN per AMS
2404 or EN per ASTM B 733 "equivalent" or "comparable" - NOT LIKELY!!
I've turned your inquiry over to my Sales Engineer who will send you
want you're looking for - we use an internal cheat sheet BUT we know
the limitations! Tread carefully.
