Standard Specification for Commercial Bronze Strip for Bullet Jackets
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the standard for commercial bronze strip for manufacture of bullet jacket cups and ammunition components from copper alloy UNS No. C22000. The specimens shall be manufactured by such hot working, cold working, and annealing processes to produce a uniform wrought structure. Each specimen shall be subjected to tension test and Rockwell hardness test. In addition to tensile properties for strips, purchaser may also specify grain size. If specimens fail to conform to the prescribed specification, analysis shall be made on a new composite sample.
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
17.1 For purposes of determining compliance with the specified property limits for the properties listed in the following table, an observed value of a calculated value shall be rounded as indicated in accordance with the rounding method of Practice E29:
Property
Rounded Unit for Observed or
Calculated Value
Chemical composition
Hardness
nearest unit in the last right-hand
significant digit used in expressing
the limiting value.
Tensile strength

Grain size:
Up to 0.055 mm, incl
nearest multiple of 0.005 mm
Over 0.055 to 0.160 mm, incl
nearest 0.01 mm
Elongation:
5 % and over
nearest 1 %
