ASTM B169/B169M-05
(Specification)Standard Specification for Aluminum Bronze Sheet, Strip, and Rolled Bar
Standard Specification for Aluminum Bronze Sheet, Strip, and Rolled Bar
ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the requirements for UNS C61300 and C61400 copper aluminum bronze alloy sheets, strips, and rolled bars. These products are intended for drawing, forming, stamping, and bending applications but not for electrical applications. Each product is hot or cold rolled to finish gage and then annealed, if required, to meet the required temper properties. This specification also contains information on the required tensile strength, yield strength at extension under load, and elongation for different temper designations and product dimensions.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for Copper Alloy UNS Nos. C61300 and C61400 aluminum bronze sheet, strip, and rolled bar.
1.2 The products made to this specification are commonly used for drawing, forming, stamping, and bending applications and are not intended for electrical applications.Note 1
The products produced under this general specification may be used in many applications in which the individual requirements may be too specific to be determined by normal physical or mechanical testing. Therefore, it may be advisable for the purchaser to submit samples or drawings to the manufacturer to be assured that the product furnished is suitable for the intended application.Note 2
Refer to Specification B 171/B 171M for plate product.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
