Chemical Composition6.1 The material shall conform to the chemical composi-tional requirements in Table 1 for the copper alloy UNS No.designation in the ordering information.6.1.1 These composition limits do not preclude the presenceof other elements. When required, limits shall be establishe
15、dand analysis required for unnamed elements by agreementbetween the manufacturer and the purchaser.6.2 For copper alloys in which zinc is specified as theremainder, either copper or zinc is permitted to be taken as thedifference between the sum of results for all elements analyzedand 100 %. When cop
16、per is so determined, that differencevalue shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1.6.3 When all elements specified in Table 1 are determinedfor the copper alloy UNS No. designated in the orderinginformation, the sum of the results shall be 99.5 % minimum.7. Temper7.1 The temper of the pro

29、NDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. METRIC EQUIVALENTSX1.1 The SI unit for strength properties now shown is inaccordance with the International System of Units (SI). Thederived SI unit for force is the newton (N), which is defined asthat force which when applied to a body having a mass of onekilogram
30、gives it an acceleration of one metre per secondsquare (N = kgm/s2). The derived SI unit for pressure or stressis the newton per square metre (N/m2), which has been namedthe pascal (Pa) by the General Conference on Weights andMeasures. Since 1 ksi = 6 894 757 Pa, the metric equivalentsare expressed
31、as megapascal (MPa), which is the same asMN/m2and N/mm2.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee B05 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue, B 455-01,that may impact the use of this standard.
