Scope*1.1 This specification2establishes the requir
3、ements for Cop-per Alloy UNS Nos. C61300 and C61400 aluminum bronzesheet, strip, and rolled bar.1.2 The products made to this specification are commonlyused for drawing, forming, stamping, and bending applicationsand are not intended for electrical applications.NOTE 1The products produced under this
4、 general specification maybe used in many applications in which the individual requirements may betoo specific to be determined by normal physical or mechanical testing.Therefore, it may be advisable for the purchaser to submit samples ordrawings to the manufacturer to be assured that the product fu
5、rnished issuitable for the intended application.NOTE 2Refer to Specification B 171/B 171M for plate product.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall

45、ay impact the use of this standard. (Approved Oct. 1, 2005.)(1) For clarity, the table on mechanical properties (TensileRequirements) was broken up into two tables, Table 2 andTable 3. Table 2 is for the inch-pound system, and Table 3 is forthe SI system.(2) Two rationalized metric values for C61300
46、 were changedin Table 3. The 0.5 % Extension Yield Strength for “soft” 12.0and under was changed from 225 to 250 MPa. Also, 12.0 to50.0 “soft” 0.2 % Offset Yield Strength was changed from 210to 205 MPa. These values are more consistent with otherrationalized metric values in the specification.(3) Mi
