Designation:B505/B505M14Standard Specification forCopper Alloy Continuous Castings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B505/B505M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification establishes requirements for continu-ously cast rod,bar,tube,and shapes produced from copperalloys with nominal compositions as listed in Table 1.21.2 Castings produced to this specification may be manu-factured for and supplied from stock.In such cases themanufacturer shall maintain heat traceability to specific manu-facturing date and chemical analysis.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3B208 Practice for Preparing Tension Test Specimens forCopper Alloy Sand,Permanent Mold,Centrifugal,andContinuous CastingsB824 Specification for General Requirements for CopperAlloy CastingsB846 Terminology for Copper and Copper AlloysE8/E8M Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Ma-terialsE10 Test Method for Brinell Hardness of Metallic MaterialsE18 Test Methods for Rockwell Hardness of Metallic Ma-terialsE255 Practice for Sampling Copper and Copper Alloys forthe Determination of Chemical CompositionE527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys in theUnified Numbering System(UNS)3.Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms related to copper and copperalloys,refer to Terminology B846.4.General Requirements4.1 The following sections of Specification B824 form apart of this specification.The definition of a casting lot asdefined in Section 12,Sampling,takes precedence over Speci-fication B824.4.1.1 Terminology(Section 3),4.1.2 Other Requirements(Section 7),4.1.3 Workmanship,Finish,and Appearance(Section 9),4.1.4 Number of Tests and Retests(Section 11),4.1.5 Specimen Preparation(Section 12),4.1.6 Test Methods(Section 13),4.1.7 Significance of Numerical Limits(Section 14),4.1.8 Inspection(Section 15),4.1.9 Rejection and Rehearing(Section 16),4.1.10 Certification(Section 17),4.1.11 Test Report(Section 18),4.1.12 Product Marking(Section 19),4.1.13 Packaging and Package Marking(Section 20),4.1.14 Keywords(Section 21),and4.1.15 Supplementary Requirements.5.Ordering Information5.1 Include the following information in orders for product:5.1.1 ASTM designation and year of issue(for example,B505/B505M 04),5.1.2 Copper Alloy UNS No.(for example,C93200),in-cluding HT if heat treatment is required.5.1.3 Condition(Table 9)and(as cast,heat treated,and soforth),1This specification is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee B05 on Copperand Copper Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B05.05 onCastings and Ingots for Remelting.Current edition approved April 1,2014.Published May 2014.Originallyapproved in 1970.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as B505/B505M 12a.DOI:10.1520/B0505_B0505M-14.2The UNS system for copper and copper alloys(see Practice E527)is a simpleexpansion of the former standard designation system accomplished by the additionof a prefix“C”and a suffix“00”.The suffix can be used to accommodatecomposition variations of the base alloy.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 5.1.4 Dimensions:inside diameter,outside diameter,thick-ness and width,5.1.5 Form:cross-section,such as tube,round,hexagon,octagon,square,or rectangle,TABLE 1 Nominal CompositionCopperAlloy UNSNo.DesignationComposition,%CopperTinLeadZincNickelAluminumIronManganeseSiliconPhosphorusBismuthSulfurC83470low-lead sulfur tinbronze934.20.5.0.5C83600leaded red brass85555.C83800leaded red brass82.93.866.5.C84200leaded semi-red brass8052.513.C84400leaded semi-red brass802.978.5.C84800leaded semi-red brass762.56.215.C85470yellow brass62.52.5.34.3.0.5.0.13.C85700leaded naval brass6111.236.C86200high-strength yellowbrass63.25.433.8.C86300high-strength yello
