Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms relat
16、ed to copper and copperalloys, refer to Terminology B 846.4. Materials and Manufacture4.1 ManufactureMechanical properties of Copper AlloyUNS Nos. C94700, C95300, C95400, C95410, C95500,C95520, and C96800 can be changed by heat treatment.Suggested heat treatments are given in the casting specifica-t
17、ions containing these alloys.5. Chemical Composition5.1 The casting material shall conform to the chemicalrequirements of the casting product specification involved.5.2 These composition limits do not preclude the presenceof other elements. Limits may be established and analysisrequired for unnamed
18、elements by agreement between themanufacturer and the purchaser.6. Mechanical Property Requirements6.1 When tension testing is required by the casting productspecification, the results shall conform to the requirements ofthat specification, when tested in accordance with Test Meth-ods E 8.7. Other R
19、equirements7.1 Hydrostatic TestWhen specified in the purchase order,a hydrostatic test shall be performed on the castings. Thedetails of the test and acceptance criteria shall be established byagreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.7.2 SoundnessWhen specified in the purchase order, cas
20、t-ings shall meet soundness requirements furnished or referencedby the purchaser. In the absence of standards for soundness, therequirement shall be as agreed upon between the manufacturerand the purchaser.8. Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible Variations8.1 The manufacturer shall be responsible for c
21、onforming tothe dimensional requirements of the castings as related to thedrawing when the pattern equipment is produced by themanufacturer.8.2 When the pattern equipment is provided by the pur-chaser, the manufacturer shall be responsible for conforming tothe dimensional requirements of the casting
22、s, but with anymutually agreed to exceptions relating to the provided patternequipment.8.3 Where thick and thin sections of the casting adjoin, themanufacturer shall be permitted to add fillets of adequate size,where not previously provided, subject to approval of thepurchaser.9. Workmanship, Finish
23、, and Appearance9.1 The surface of the casting shall be free of adhering sand,cracks, and hot tears. Other surface discontinuities shall meetvisual acceptance standards agreed upon between the manu-facturer and the purchaser.10. Sampling10.1 LotA lot shall consist of: (1) all of the metal pouredfrom
24、 a single furnace or crucible melt, or (2) all the metalpoured from two or more furnaces into a single ladle, or (3) allof the metal poured from a continuous melting furnace betweencharges, or (4) all of the metal poured from an individualmelting furnace or group of melting furnaces having a uniform
25、melting stock, operating during the course of one-half shift, notto exceed 5 h.10.2 Chemical Analysis:10.2.1 The sample for chemical analysis shall be taken inaccordance with Practice E 255 for product in the final formfrom the pieces selected in 10.1 and combined into onecomposite sample. The minim
26、um weight of the compositesample shall be 150 g.10.2.2 Instead of sampling as directed in 10.2.1, the manu-facturer shall have the option of sampling at the time castingsare poured or from the semifinished product. When samples aretaken during the course of manufacture, sampling of thefinished produ
27、ct by the manufacturer is not required. Thenumber of samples taken for the determination of compositionshall be as follows:10.2.2.1 When samples are taken at the time the castings arepoured, at least one sample shall be taken for each group ofcastings poured from the same source of molten metal.10.3
28、 Tension-test bars used in meeting the requirements of6.1 shall be separately cast for the sand, permanent mold, andcentrifugal casting processes. The results represent the proper-ties of the metal going into castings poured from the same heat.The mechanical properties may not be the same as theprop
29、erties of the corresponding castings because of the solidi-fication effects of varying size, section, and design. Test barsfor continuous castings are taken from the castings andtherefore represent the properties of the casting.10.3.1 When the requirements of 6.1 have been compliedwith using separat
30、ely cast test bars, additional tests may beperformed using test bars removed from the casting with testbar location and mechanical properties agreed upon betweenthe manufacturer and the purchaser. It should be noted that theminimum requirements, listed in applicable specifications,were obtained usin
31、g data from separately cast coupons. Testspecimens machined from castings may not achieve theseresults.11. Number of Tests and Retests11.1 Tests:11.1.1 A chemical analysis of each element with a specifiedlimiting value shall be made on each lot. Chemical analysis forresidual elements is not required
32、 unless specified in thepurchase order.11.1.2 One tension test shall be performed on each lot.11.1.3 Should the percent elongation of any tensile-testspecimen be less than that specified and any part of the fractureis outside the middle two-thirds of the gage length or in apunched or scribed mark wi
33、thin the reduced section, thespecimen may be discarded and replaced by another from thesame lot.B82404211.1.4 If the result of any test fails to conform to thespecified requirements, two retests shall be performed. If eitherretest fails to meet the specified requirements, the lot shall berejected.11
34、.1.5 Should any of the properties be less than thatspecified and there is a discontinuity in the cross-sectional areaof the fracture, the specimen may be discarded and replaced byanother of the same lot.11.2 Retests:11.2.1 When requested by the manufacturer, a retest shall bepermitted when test resu
35、lts obtained by the purchaser fail toconform to the casting specification requirements.11.2.2 Retesting shall be as prescribed in the casting speci-fication for the initial test, except the number of test specimensshall be twice that normally required for the test. Test resultsfor all specimens shal
36、l comply with the casting specificationrequirements. Failure to comply shall be cause for rejection.11.2.3 Chemical AnalysisIf one or more of the elementswith specified limits fail to meet the compositional requirementof the product specification when determined from the sampleprepared in accordance
37、 with Practice E 255, one retest cycleshall be permitted with a second composite sample prepared inaccordance with Practice E 255.12. Specimen Preparation12.1 The specimen for chemical analysis shall be takenfrom the lot in such a manner as to avoid contamination and berepresentative of the molten m
38、etal. Sample preparation shall bein accordance with Practice E 255. Analytical specimen prepa-ration shall be the responsibility of the reporting laboratory.12.2 Tension-test specimens shall be prepared in accordancewith Practice B 208.12.2.1 If any specimen is machined improperly or if flawsare rev
39、ealed by machining or during testing, the specimen shallbe discarded and replaced by another from the same lot.13. Test Methods13.1 Chemical Composition:13.1.1 The chemical analysis methods used for the routinedetermination of specification compliance and preparation oftest reports shall be at the d
