Terminology4.1 DefinitionsFor standard terms related to copper andcopper alloys, refer to Terminology B 846.5. Ordering Information

15、5.1 Contracts or purchase orders for product under thisspecification should include the following information:5.1.1 ASTM designation and year of issue (for example,B 591 XX);5.1.2 Copper Alloy UNS No. Designation (for example,C42500);5.1.3 Temper (see Section 8);5.1.4 Dimensions, that is, thickness,

16、 width, length, and soforth (see Section 12);5.1.5 Form, that is, plate, sheet, strip, or rolled bar;5.1.6 How furnished, that is, rolls, specific or stock lengths,with or without ends;5.1.7 Quantity, that is, total weight each form, temper, andsize; and5.1.8 When material is purchased for agencies

17、of the U.S.Government the requirements of Section 11 shall apply.5.2 The following options are available under this specifi-cation and should be specified in the contract or purchase orderwhen required:5.2.1 Type of edge, that is, slit, sheared, sawed, squarecorners, round corners, rounded edges, or

18、 full rounded edges,and5.2.2 Width and straightness tolerances (see Section 12).6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 Material:6.1.1 The material of manufacture shall be Copper AlloyUNS No. C40500, C41100, C41300, C41500, C42200,C42000, C43300, C43400, C40810, C40850, C40860, orC42520 as specified in the

19、ordering information.6.1.2 In the event that heat identification or traceability isrequired, the purchaser shall specify the details required.NOTE 1Because of the discontinuous nature of the processing ofcastings into wrought products, it is not always practical to identify aspecific casting analysi

20、s with a specific quantity of finished material.6.2 Manufacture:6.2.1 The product shall be manufactured by such hot work-ing, cold working, and annealing processes as to produce auniform wrought structure in the finished product.6.2.2 The product shall be hot or cold worked to the finishedsize and s

21、ubsequently annealed, when required, to meet thetemper properties specified in the ordering information.6.2.3 EdgesSlit edges shall be furnished unless otherwisespecified in the contract or purchase order.7. Chemical Composition7.1 The material shall conform to the chemical composi-tional requiremen

22、ts specified in Table 1 for the copper alloyUNS No. designation specified in the ordering information.7.1.1 These composition limits do not preclude the possiblepresence of other unnamed elements. Limits may be estab-lished and analysis required for unnamed elements by agree-ment between manufacture

23、r or supplier and the purchaser.7.2 Zinc, given as the “Remainder,” is the difference be-tween the sum of the results for all elements determined and100 %.7.2.1 Copper may be determined by difference; however,when so determined, the results must conform to the require-ments of Table 1.7.3 When all e

24、lements specified in Table 1 for the desig-nated alloy are determined, the sum of results shall equal atleast 99.7 %.8. Temper8.1 As Hot Rolled (M20) MaterialThis standard temper ofsheet and plate produced by hot rolling, where applicable, isshown in Table 2. (See Table 3 for SI equivalents.)8.2 H (

25、Rolled Material)The standard tempers of rolledmaterials are as designated in Table 2 with the prefix “H.”Special tempers not listed in this specification are subject toagreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.8.3 Annealed MaterialThe standard tempers of annealedmaterial are as designated

26、 in Table 4 in the column entitled“Nominal Grain Size.” Special tempers not listed in thisspecification are subject to agreement between the manufac-turer and the purchaser.8.4 Temper designations are defined in Classification B 601.9. Grain Size for Annealed Tempers9.1 Grain size shall be the stand

27、ard requirement for allproducts in the annealed tempers.9.2 Acceptance or rejection based upon grain size shalldepend only on the average grain size of test specimen takenTABLE 1 Chemical RequirementsCopper AlloyUNS No.Composition, % max (Unless Shown as a Range)Copper Tin Lead Iron Phosphorus Nicke
