    OBSOLESCENCE NOTICE

    All DTD specifications were declared obsolescent from 1 st April 1999. All DTD 900
    series approvals also lapsed at that time. The standards will no longer be updated but
    will be retained as obsolescent documents to provide for the servicing of existing
    equipment.

    Further Guidance

    The aim in declaring the specifications obsolescent is to recognise that the


    documents are not being updated and thus should be used with care by both
    purchaser and supplier. For example, a specification could contain valid technical
    information but may also contain type approval clauses that contradict procurement
    policy and/or use materials that do not comply with environmental legislation. The
    obsolescent specification can still be used as a basis for a purchase provided that the
    supplier and purchaser agree suitable changes to the specification within the
    purchase order/contract.
    For the DTD 900 system, each specification has provided an MoD approved
    material and process. For these items, the declaration of obsolescence will constitute
    the termination of both the extant MoD approval and the continuing MoD assessment
    that had underpinned those approvals. Again, the technical content of the document
    remains valid and can be used by both purchaser and supplier as a basis for a
    contract but an acceptable (to the parties) approval/assessment procedure would be
    required.
    PROCUREMENT EXECUTIVE
    MINISTRY OF DEFENCE
    D.T.D. 5124
    (Superseding D.T.D. 5074A)
    April, 1973

    Aerospace Material Specification


    BARS AND EXTRUDED SECTIONS
    OF ALUMINIUM-ZINC-MAGNESIUM-COPPER-CHROMIUM ALLOY
    (Solution treated and precipitation treated)
    (Zn 5.8, Mg 2.5, Cu 1.6, Cr 0.16)

    NOTE 1. This specification is one of a series issued by the Procurement Executive, Ministry of Defence to
    meet a requirement not covered by an existing British Standard for aerospace material.
    NOTE 2. This specification, formerly D.T.D. 5074A, has been re-numbered because the mechanical pro-
    perties specified for some sizes of material differ from those specified originally in D.T.D. 5074.

    1. INSPECTION AND TESTING PROCEDURE


    This specification shall be used in conjunction with the relevant sections of British Standard L.100 as
    follows:
    Bars for machining and extruded sections Sections 1 and 5
    Bars for machining and extruded sections
    for highly stressed structures Sections 1 and 6

    2. QUALITY OF MATERIAL
    The material shall be made from aluminium and alloying constituents, with or without approved scrap,
    at the discretion of the manufacturer.

    3. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
    The chemical composition of the material shall be:

    Per cent
    Element
    Min. Max.

    Copper 1.2 2.0


    Magnesium 2.1 2.9
    Silicon 0.4
    Iron 0.5
    Manganese 0.3
    *Nickel 0.05
    Zinc 5.1 6.4
    *Lead 0.05
    *Tin 0.05
    Titanium plus Zirconium 0.2
    Chromium 0.10 0.25
    Aluminium The remainder

    *Subject to the discretion of the Inspecting Authority, determination of these


    elements need be made on a small proportion only of the samples analysed.

    4. CONDITION
    4.1 Bars and extruded sections. Unless otherwise agreed and stated on the order in accordance with
    British Standard L.100, Section 5, bars for machining and extruded sections shall be supplied solution
    treated, straightened and subsequently precipitation treated, but not controlled stretched.
    4.2 Bars and extruded sections for highly stressed structures. Unless otherwise agreed and stated on
    the order in accordance with British Standard L.100, Section 6, bars for machining and extruded sections
    for highly stressed structures shall be supplied solution treated, controlled stretched and subsequently pre-
    cipitation treated.
    2 D.T.D. 5124

    5. HEAT TREATMENT
    The material shall be heat treated as follows:
    (1) Solution treat by heating at a temperature of 460±10°C and quenching in water or oil.
    NOTE. Material that has not to be subsequently stretched shall be quenched in water at a
    temperature of not less than 85°C or in oil.
    (2) Precipitation treat by heating at a temperature of 135±5°C for not less than 12 hours.

    6. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
    6.1 Tensile test
    6.1.1 Controlled-stretched material. Unless they are required by British Standard L.100 to be fixed by
    agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser, the mechanical properties obtained from test pieces
    selected and prepared in accordance with the relevant requirements of British Standard L.100 shall be not
    less than the following values :

    Elongation on
    Diameter or minor sectional gauge length of
    dimension of the bar or 0.2% Tensile
    extruded section proof stress strength
    50mm 5.65 √ S0

    mm MPa MPa % %

    Over Up to and including


    480 540 4
    10 100 520 580 4 4
    100 150 490 550 4

    NOTE. Conversion factors: 1 MPa= 1 N/mm2 = 0.102 kgf/mm2=0.065 tonf/in2. Information on SI


    units is given in BS 3763 ‘The International System of units (SI)’; see also BS 350 ‘Conversion factors and
    tables’.

    6.1.2 Non-controlled stretched material. The mechanical properties shall be agreed between the manu-
    facturer and the purchaser.

    6.2 Hardness test. The value of X shall be as shown in the following table :

    Tensile strength of test piece* Value of X

    MPa %
    ft to less than ft + 15 5
    ft + 15 to less than ft + 30 7.5
    ft + 30 to less than ft + 45 10
    f t + 45 and over 12.5

    *f t = minimum value for the particular size of material as specified


    in 6.1.1, or agreed in accordance with 6.1.2.

    Approved for issue,


    E. W. RUSSELL,
    Director of Research Materials 2.
