47、ility. The following guide may be used:X1.1.1 In general, the higher the lead content, the better themachinability and lower the ductility and malleability.X1.1.2 In general, increasing the copper content improvesductility and malleability.X1.1.3 In general, the softer tempers have improved ductil-i
48、ty and malleability but are less able to withstand unbalancedtool pressures.X1.1.4 Arsenic is added to improve corrosion resistance dueto dezincification.X1.1.5 HR01 temper is used to improve resistance to stresscorrosion cracking.TABLE 6 Tensile Requirements, SINOTEInch-pound values are stated in T
