(Specification)Standard Specification for Copper-Aluminum-Silicon-Cobalt Alloy, Copper-Nickel-Silicon-Magnesium Alloy, Copper-Nickel-Silicon Alloy, Copper-Nickel-Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy, and Copper-Nickel-Tin Alloy Sheet and Strip
Standard Specification for Copper-Aluminum-Silicon-Cobalt Alloy, Copper-Nickel-Silicon-Magnesium Alloy, Copper-Nickel-Silicon Alloy, Copper-Nickel-Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy, and Copper-Nickel-Tin Alloy Sheet and Strip
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for Copper Alloy UNS Nos. C19010, C19025, C63800, C70250, and C70260 (Note 1) Sheet and Strip.
Note 1—This document contains some patented alloys. Alternatives such as beryllium coppers and spinodal alloys are available for similar applications.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in SI units represent mathematical conversions, which are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
