Form This foundation specification (AMS3050) and its associated category specifications (AMS3050/1 through AMS3050/9) cover anti-seize compounds for use on threads of nuts@ studs@ bolts@ and other mating surfaces@ including those of superheated steam installations@ at temperatures up to 1050 ??(566 ??. Compounds containing PTFE are limited to 600 ??315 ??maximum. Materials for nuts@ studs@ bolts and other mating surfaces include@ but are not limited to Steel@ Nickel alloys@ Stainless Steel@ Silver coated materials. Foundation and Category Specifications This foundation specification establishes the requirements for all anti-seize compounds conforming to this specification. The individual Category specifications establish the requirements by separate anti-seize additives. Synthetic fluids and lithium complex soap thickeners are typically part of greases of this type@ but other base fluids and thickeners may be acceptable.
