19、y the details desired.NOTE 1Due to the discontinuous nature of the processing of castingsinto wrought products, it is not always practical to identify a specificcasting analysis with a specific quantity of finished material.6.2 Manufacture:6.2.1 The product shall be manufactured by such hotworking,
20、cold working, and annealing processes as to producea uniform 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.6.2.3 EdgesSlit edges shall be furnished unless ot
21、herwisespecified 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 composition limits do not preclude the p
22、resenceof other elements. By agreement between manufacturer andpurchaser, limits may be established and analysis required forunnamed elements.7.2 For alloys in which zinc is listed as “remainder,” eithercopper or zinc may be taken as the difference between the sumof the results for all elements dete
23、rmined and 100 %. When allelements in Table 1 are determined, the sum of the results shallbe 99.7 % min.8.
