1、Designation: B601 18Standard Classification forTemper Designations for Copper and Copper AlloysWrought and Cast1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B601; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l
2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This classification establishes
3、temper designations forcopper and copper alloyswrought and cast. The temperdesignations are classified by the process or processes used inmanufacturing the product involved and its resulting proper-ties. It is not a specification of copper and copper alloys.1.2 The property requirements for the temp
4、ers are given inthe applicable product specification.1.3 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued
