Terminology4.1 For definitions of terms related to
15、copper and copperalloys, refer to Terminology B 846.5. Ordering Information5.1 Include the following information when placing ordersfor product under this specification, as applicable:5.1.1 ASTM designation and year of issue (for example,B 591 XX);5.1.2 Copper Alloy UNS No. Designation (for example,
16、C42500);5.1.3 Temper (see Section 8);5.1.4 Dimensions, that is, thickness, 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 eac
17、h form, temper, andsize; and5.1.8 When material is purchased for agencies 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
18、 is, slit, sheared, sawed, squarecorners, round corners, rounded edges, or full rounded edges,and5.2.2 Width and straightness tolerances (see Section 12).5.2.3 Heat Identification or traceability details (see 6.1.2).5.2.4 Certification, and5.2.5 Mill Test Report.6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 Mater
19、ial: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 ordering information.6.1.2 In the event that heat identification or traceability isrequired, the purchaser shall spec
20、ify 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 analysis with a specific quantity of finished material.6.2 Manufacture:6.2.1 The product shall be manufactured by such hot w
21、ork-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 subsequently annealed, when required, to meet thetemper properties specified in the ordering information.6.2.3 EdgesSl
22、it 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 requirements specified in Table 1 for the copper alloyUNS No. designation specified in the ordering information.7.1.1 These com
23、position 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 manufacturer or supplier and the purchaser.7.2 Zinc, given as the “Remainder,” is the difference be-tween the sum of the results
24、 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 elements specified in Table 1 for the desig-nated alloy are determined, the sum of results shall equal atleast 99.7 %.
