Most failures with AMS 2759/2 are not metallurgical—they are documentation failures. A good paper on this topic will cover:
When flight safety and component structural integrity depend on maximizing mechanical properties without risking catastrophic brittle failure, aerospace manufacturers rely on AMS 2759/2. Technical Scope and Material Applicability
Parts shall be visually inspected for cracks, blisters, and excessive scale. Surface conditions that would impair the serviceability of the part are cause for rejection.
