1. Scope*

1.1 This specification2 establishes the requirements for copper sheet, strip, plate, and rolled bar. Each of the coppers listed as follows has a unique property, making it suitable for specific applications. The purchaser in consultation with the supplier shall choose and specify the copper best suited to his application. In the case where the copper is for general, rather than specific application, and the purchaser does not specify which copper is wanted, one of the coppers listed which is readily available shall be supplied.

2 For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications see related Specifi-cation SB-152 in Section 11 of that Code.

3 The UNS system for copper and copper alloys (see Practice E 527) is a simple expansion of the former standard designation system accomplished by the addition of a prefix "C" and a suffix "00." The suffix can be used to accommodate composition variations of the base alloy.

NOTE 2 -This specification is not intended to cover material rolled to

ounce-weight thicknesses. Such material is covered by Specification

B370.

Plates for locomotive fireboxes are covered by Specification B 11. Flat copper products with finished (rolled or drawn) edges (flat wire

6. Chemical Composition

6.1 The materials

shall

oonform to the chemical require-ments prescribed in Table 1.

6.2 Iflimits for unnanied elements are reqUired, they shall be established and analysis required by agreement between manufacturer or supplier and purchaser.

7. Temper

7.1 Rolled Material (H)--'-The standard tempers of cold-rolled sheet, strip, plate, and cold-rolled bar copper of all types are designated as follows (see Practice' B' 601):

Standatd HOO HOI H02 H03 H04 H06 H08 HIO Temper DeSignatioh Fonner Eight-bani, Quarter-bani, Half-hanI,A Three-quarter-hard, A Hard,A Extra-hard,A Spring, A and Extra-spriugA

A Consult suppliers to determine the availability of sheet, plate, and rolled bar in these tempers.

7.1.1 Special or nonstandard tempers are subject to nego-tiation between manufacturer and purchaser (see 4.1.3).

7.2 As Hot-Rolled Temper (M20):

7.2.1 The temper of hot-rolled copper sheet and plate shall.be that produced by hot rolling.

7.2.1.1 Plate not specified for Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code .. Applications are generally available in the M20 temper. "

NQTE 4-Soft-anneal temper is suitable for most industrial users of copper such as forming, spinning, and simple drawing operations where close control of temper is not essential. Deep-dnlwing anneal temper is

eSpecially suited for very severe drawing and forming operations where maximum dUctility and Close control of temper is required.

8.2 Test specimens Shall be taken to conform, where applicable, to Section 6 of Test Methods E 8. Tension test specimens shall be taken so that the longitudinal axis of such specimens is parallel to the direction of rolling. Plate ite:m test-five specimens shall be taken either from the excess portion of the plate or from separate pieces produced under the same specification and temper.

8.3 'Hot-rolled.' and hot-rolled and .. amiealed plates of Copper UNS' Nos. Cll000 and C12200 shall have 40 % Iilinimum elongation in 2 in., and hot-tolled and hot~rolled

45.

% ininmnpneiongation in 2 m. ' 9. Grain Size Requirements of Cold-Rolled

Annealed Tempers

The average grain size of each of two samples of annealed material, as determined on a plane parallel to the surface of the sheet or strip, shall be within the limits prescribed m Table 3.

10. Rocbvell Hardness

10.1 Rockwell hardness tests offer a quick and Convenient :meilio<iofchecking copper of any temper for" general conforinity

to

the requirements for tensile strength or 'grain size. The approximate Rockwell hardness values for' each temper are given in Table 2 or Table 3 for general informa-tion anq assistance in testing.

5. General Requirements

5.1 Material furnished under this specification shall con-form to the applicable requirements of the current edition of Specification B 248M.

6. Chemical Composition

6.1 The materials shall conform to the compositions prescribed in Table 1.

6.2 Iflimits for unnamed elements are required, they shall be established and analysis required by agreement between manufacturer or supplier and purchaser.

7. Temper

7.1 Rolled Material (H)-The standard tempers of cold-rolled sheet, strip, plate, and cold-rolled bar copper of all types are designated as follows (see Practice B 601):

Standard HOO HOI H02 H03 H04 H06 H08 HIO Temper Designation Former Eighth·hard, Quarter-hard, Half-hard,A 'fbn:e.quarter-hard, A Hard,A Extrn-hard, A Spring,A and Extra-springA

A Consult SUpplieIS to determine the availability of sheet, plate, and rolled bar in

these tempers.

7.1.1 Special or nonstandard tempers are subject to nego-tiation between manufacturer and purchaser (see 4.1.3).

7.2 Hot-Rolled Temper (M20):

7.2.1 The temper of hot-rolled copper sheet and plate shall be that produced by hot rolling.

7.2.1.1 Plate not specified for Boiler and Pressure Vessel

261

Code Applications is generally available in the M20 temper. 7.3 Annealed Temper (0):

7.3.1 The temper of hot-rolled and annealed copper sheet and plate shall be that produced by hot rolling and subse-quent annealing (025).

7.3.1.1 Plates specified for Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications shall be furnished in the 025 temper.

7.3.2 The standard tempers of cold-rolled annealed copper sheet, strip, and plate are designated as follows:

060,

soft anneal and 068, deep drawing anneal.

NOTE 4-Soft-anneal temper is suitable for most industrial users of copper such as forming, spinning, and simple drawing operations where close control of temper is not essential. Deep-drawing anneal temper is

especially suited for very severe drawing and forming operations where maximum ductility and close control of temper is required.

8. Mechanical Properties of Cold-Worked and Hot-Rolled Tempers

8.1 The tension test shall be the standard test for all tempers of cold-rolled, hot-rolled, and hot-rolled and an-nealed copper sheet, strip, plate, and rolled bar, and

accep-tance or rejection shall depend only on the tensile properties, which shall conform to the requirements prescribed in 8.3 and Table 2.

8.2 Test specimens shall be taken to conform, where applicable, to Section 6, of Test Methods E 8. Tension test specimens shall be taken so that the longitudinal axis of such specimens is parallel to the direction of rolling. Plate item test-five specimens shall be taken either from the excess portion of the plate or from separate pieces produced under the same specification and temper.

8.3 Hot-rolled plates of Copper UNS Nos. C11000 and C12200 shall have 40 % minimum elongation in 50

mm,

and hot-rolled plates of Copper UNS No. C14200 shall have 45 % minimum elongation in 50

mm.

9. Grain Size Requirements of Cold-Rolled Annealed

Tem-pers

9.1 Grain size shall be the standard test for cold-rolled annealed copper sheet and strip, and acceptance or rejection shall depend only on the grain size. The average grain size of each of two samples of annealed material, as determined on a plane parallel to the surface of the sheet or strip, shall be within the limits prescribed in Table 3.

10. Rockwell Hardness

10.1 Rockwell hardness tests offer a quick and convenient method of checking copper of any temper for general conformity to the requirements for tensile strength of grain

size. The approximate Rockwell hardness values for each temper are given in Table 2 or Table 3 for general informa-tion and assistance in testing.

11. Microscopical Examination

11.1 Samples of Copper UNS Nos. C10100, C10200, C10300, ClO400, C10500, C10700, and C12000 shall be free of cuprous oxide as determined by Procedure A of Test Methods B 577. In case of a dispute, a referee method in accordance with Procedure C of Test Methods B 577 shall be used.
