Standard Specification for Copper Alloy Sand Castings for General Applications

ABSTRACT
This specification covers requirements for copper alloy sand castings for general applications. The components part casting may be manufactured in advance and supplied from stock. The castings shall conform to the compositional requirements for named elements specified. Mechanical properties of copper alloys such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation shall be determined. The castings shall not be repaired, plugged, welded, or burned in.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements for copper alloy sand castings for general applications. Nominal compositions of the alloys defined by this specification are shown in Table 1.2 This is a composite specification replacing former documents as shown in Table 1.  
Note 1: Other copper alloy castings are included in the following ASTM Specifications: B22/B22M, B61, B62, B66, B67, B148, B176, B271/B271M, B369/B369M, B427, B505/B505M, B763/B763M, B770, and B806.  
1.2 Component part castings produced to this specification may be manufactured in advance and supplied from stock. In such cases the manufacturer shall maintain a general quality certification of all castings without specific record or date of casting for a specific casting.  
1.3 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.  
1.4 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.

1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers requirements for copper alloy sand castings for general applications. Nominal compositions of the
alloys defined by this specification are shown in Table 1. This is a composite specification replacing former documents as shown
in Table 1.
NOTE 1—Other copper alloy castings are included in the following ASTM Specifications: B22/B22M, B61, B62, B66, B67, B148, B176, B271/B271M,
B369B369/B369M, B427, B505/B505M, B763/B763M, B770, and B806.
1.2 Component part castings produced to this specification may be manufactured in advance and supplied from stock. In such
cases the manufacturer shall maintain a general quality certification of all castings without specific record or date of casting for
a specific casting.
1.3 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.
1.4 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.

5. Ordering Information
5.1 Orders for castings under this specification should include the following information:
5.1.1 Specification title, number, and year of issue,issue;
5.1.2 Quantity of castings,castings;
5.1.3 Copper alloy UNS Number (Table 1) and temper (as-cast, heat treated, and so forth),forth);
5.1.4 Pattern or drawing number, and condition (as-cast, machined, etc.),etc.);
5.1.5 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code—Code compliance (Section 10),); and
5.1.6 When material is purchased for agencies of the U.S. government, the Supplementary Requirements of Specification B824
may be specified.
5.2 The following options are available and should be specified in the purchase order when required:
5.2.1 Chemical analysis of residual elements (7.3),
5.2.2 Pressure test or soundness requirements (Specification B824),
5.2.3 Approval of weld repair or impregnation, or both (Section 9),

B584 − 14 (2022)
5.2.6 Witness inspection (Specification B824), and
5.2.7 Product marking (Specification B824).
6. Manufacture
6.1 Copper alloy UNS Nos. C94700 and C96800 may be supplied in the heat treated condition to obtain the higher mechanical
properties shown in Table 2. Suggested heat treatments for these alloys are given in Table 3. Actual practice may vary by
manufacturer.
6.2 Separately cast test bar coupons representing castings made in copper alloy UNS Nos. C94700HT and C96800HT shall be heat
treated with the castings.
7. Chemical Composition
7.1 The castings shall conform to the compositional requirements for named elements as shown in Table 4 for the copper alloy
UNS numbers specified in the purchase order.
7.2 These specification limits do not preclude the presence of other elements. Limits may be established and analysis required for
unnamed elements agreed upon between manufacturer or supplier and purchaser. Copper or zinc, when zinc is 20 % or greater,
may be given as remainder and may be taken as the difference between the sum of all elements analyzed and 100 %. When all
named elements in Table 4 are analyzed, their sum shall be as specified in Table 5.
7.3 It is recognized that residual elements may be present in cast copper alloys. Analysis shall be made for residual elements only
when specified in the purchase order.
8. Mechanical Properties
8.1 Mechanical properties shall be determined from separately cast test bar castings, a
