ASTM B465-20

Standard Specification for Copper-Iron Alloy Plate, Sheet, Strip, and Rolled Bar

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the requirements for plates, sheets, strips, and rolled bars of copper-iron alloys with Copper Alloy UNS Nos. C19200, C19210, C19400, C19500, C19700, and C19720. The material for manufacture shall be a cast bar, cake, or slab and so forth of such purity and soundness as to be suitable for processing by hot working, cold working, and annealing to produce a uniform wrought structure in the finished product. Tempers shall be available in the following: O60 (soft annealed), O61 (annealed), O50 (light annealed), O82 (annealed to temper, ½ hard), H01 (¼ hard), H02 (½ hard), H03 (¾ hard), H04 (hard), H06 (extra hard), HR02 (½ hard), HR04 (hard), H08 (spring), H10 (extra spring), and H14 (super spring). Products shall be tested and shall adhere to dimensional (mass, thickness, length, width, straightness, and edge), mechanical (tensile strength, and Rockwell hardness), electrical (resistivity and equivalent conductivity), chemical composition, and grain size requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for copper-iron alloy plate, sheet, strip, and rolled bar for Copper [Alloy] UNS Nos. C19200, C19210, C19400, C19500, C19700, and C19720.  
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
