ABSTRACT
This specification covers plate, rolled bar, sheet, and strip of copper-tin alloy (phosphor bronze plate), copper-tin-lead alloy (leaded phosphor bronze), and copper-tin-lead-zinc alloy (bearing bronze). Copper alloys covered include UNS Nos. C51000, C51100, C51180, C51900, C52100, C52180, C52400, C53400, and C54400. Product shall be manufactured by hot or cold working, rolling, and annealing. Chemical composition of the materials shall conform to UNS designation of the material. Product shall conform to chemical analysis, tensile strength and Rockwell hardness tests specified in the specification. Chemical composition testing shall be performed for each element, namely, copper, iron, lead, phosphorus, tin, and zinc. Tension test shall be made so that the longitudinal axis of the specimen is parallel to direction of rolling.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for copper-tin alloy (phosphor bronze), copper-tin-lead alloy (leaded phosphor bronze), and copper-tin-lead-zinc alloy (bearing bronze), plate, sheet, strip, and rolled bar for general application produced from Copper Alloy UNS Nos. C51000, C51100, C51180, C51900, C52100, C52180, C52400, C53400, and C54400. The phosphor bronzes commonly are used for deep drawing into bellows and stamping and forming into spring devices and into terminals and connectors for electrical apparatus because they combine high strength with high elongation. The leaded phosphor bronzes are used where strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability are required. The bearing bronze is used in bushings, bearings, and load-bearing thrust washers.
Note 1: All of the above alloys contain small amounts of phosphorus, used as a deoxidant in melting, and to enhance the mechanical properties.
1.2 Units—The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not necessarily 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.
1.3 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test method(s) described in this specification. 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
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.

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the requirements for copper-nickel-tin, copper-nickel-zinc, and copper-nickel alloy plates, sheets, strips, and rolled bars made from UNS C70600, C70620, C71000, C71500, C71520, C72200, C72500, C73500, C74000, C74500, C75200, C76200, or C77000 alloy. Each product should be manufactured by hot or cold working, and annealed if required, to produce a uniform wrought structure that meets the specified temper properties. This specification also contains information on the standard tempers for and tensile strengths of hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and annealed tempers. In case of disagreements, the chemical composition is determined following appropriate methods listed here. Grain size is the standard requirement for all products in the annealed tempers.

ABSTRACT
This specification covers plates made of carbon steel or low-alloy steel base, to which a layer of copper or copper-base alloy cladding is integrally and continuously bonded on one or both sides. The material is generally intended for pressure vessel applications, but may be used in other structural applications where corrosion resistance or conductivity of the alloy is of prime importance. The steel shall be primarily made by the open-hearth, electric-furnace (with optional degassing and refining done separately), or basic-oxygen processes. Secondary processes may also be performed, whereby the steel made from the primary processes is remelted using, but not limited to, electroslag remelting or vacuum arc remelting. Materials shall be tested and shall conform to dimensional (thickness, flatness, and outside diameter), mechanical (tensile, shear and bond strengths), and chemical composition requirements. The manufacturer may rework defects in the cladding by repair welding provided specific requirements are met.

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes of the requirements for pre-patinated (artificially aged) copper sheets and strips in ounce-weight thicknesses supplied in flat lengths for roofing, flashing, and other architectural applications. Materials made to this specification are not intended to be used for electrical applications. The pre-patinated surface shall not be the result of coating applications such as painting, but rather the result of chemical treatment that artificially ages the base metal to form green- to turquoise-colored protective layer. Products shall be produced in tempers H00 (eighth hard, cold-rolled), H01 (quarter hard, cold-rolled high yield), and H02 (half hard). Products shall be tested to examine their conformance to dimensional (mass, thickness, weight, width, length, and straightness), mechanical (tensile and yield strengths, and Rockwell hardness), and chemical composition requirements. Products shall also undergo color fade resistance and resistance to flaking tests.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the establishment of the requirements for pre-patinated (artificially aged) copper sheet and strip in ounce-weight thicknesses supplied in flat lengths for roofing, flashing, and other architectural applications.
1.2 The pre-patinated surface is the result of chemical reaction with the copper and shall be applied on one side of the product.
1.2.1 The pre-patinated surface formed is comparable in color and ability to be bent or formed to the surface formed in naturally occurring patinated copper.
1.3 The pre-patinated surface is not the result of coating applications such as painting.
1.4 Materials made to this specification are not intended to be used for electrical applications.
1.5 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.
Note 1: A companion specification for copper sheet and strip for building construction is Specification B370.
1.6 The following precautionary statement pertains only to the test method portion, Section 12, of this specification: 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

ABSTRACT
This specification covers plate, rolled bar, sheet, and strip of copper-tin alloy (phosphor bronze plate), copper-tin-lead alloy (leaded phosphor bronze), and copper-tin-lead-zinc alloy (bearing bronze). Copper alloys covered include UNS Nos. C51000, C51100, C51180, C51900, C52100, C52180, C52400, C53400, and C54400. Product shall be manufactured by hot or cold working, rolling, and annealing. Chemical composition of the materials shall conform to UNS designation of the material. Product shall conform to chemical analysis, tensile strength and Rockwell hardness tests specified in the specification. Chemical composition testing shall be performed for each element, namely, copper, iron, lead, phosphorus, tin, and zinc. Tension test shall be made so that the longitudinal axis of the specimen is parallel to direction of rolling.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for copper-tin alloy (phosphor bronze), copper-tin-lead alloy (leaded phosphor bronze), and copper-tin-lead-zinc alloy (bearing bronze), plate, sheet, strip, and rolled bar. The phosphor bronzes commonly are used for deep drawing into bellows and stamping and forming into spring devices and into terminals and connectors for electrical apparatus because they combine high strength with high elongation. The leaded phosphor bronzes are used where strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability are required. The bearing bronze is used in bushings, bearings, and load-bearing thrust washers.

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the general requirements common to several wrought products including copper and copper-alloy plates, sheets, strips, and rolled bars. The numerical values in this specification are not presented in inch-pound units, but rather, in metric or SI units only.
