自2012年1月起，本规范已被SAE航空航天材料部宣布“取消”，并被SAE AMS 4617取代。每当参考已取消的AMS 4167时，应满足最新版SAE AMS 4617的要求。通过这一行动，本文件仍将列在航空航天材料规范索引的数字部分，并指出其已被SAE AMS 4617取代。本规范涵盖挤压棒材、棒材、线材、型材和管材形式的铝合金。这些挤压件通常用于加工过程中易产生过度翘曲的零件，以及要求高强度和抗应力的零件- 腐蚀开裂，但用途不限于此类应用。

This specification has been declared "CANCELLED" by the Aerospace Materials Division, SAE, as of January 2012 and has been superseded by SAE AMS 4617. The requirements of the latest issue of SAE AMS 4617 shall be fulfilled whenever reference is made to the cancelled AMS 4167. By this action, this document will remain listed in the Numerical Section of the Index of Aerospace Materials Specifications, noting that it has been superseded by SAE AMS 4617.This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of extruded bars, rods, wire, shapes, and tubing.These extrusions have been used typically for parts subject to excessive warpage during machining and for parts requiring high strength and resistance to stress-corrosion cracking, but usage is not limited to such applications.
