4. Ordering Information 4.1 Orders for material under this specification shall include the following: 4.1.1 Quantity, 4.1.2 Copper UNS No. (Section 1). When Alloys C10400, C10500, C10700, Cl1300, Cl1400, Cl1600, or C12300, the amount of silver in ounces per ton, 4.1.3 Temper (Section 7), 4.1.4 Dimensions: thickness, width, and weight (Section 14), 4.1.5 How furnished (straight lengths or coils), 4.1.6 Length (Section 14), 4.1. 7 Weight of coils: coil weights or coil size limitations, if required, 4.1.8 ASTM specification number. 4.2 The following requirements shall be specified if applicable: 4.2.1 Certification, if required (Section 15), 4.2.2 Mill test report, if required (Section 16), 4.2.3 Resistivity test for copper UNS Nos. C10100, C10200, C10300, C11000, or C12000 (Section 13), 4.2.4 Embrittlement test for C10100, C10200, C10300, C11000, C12000 (Section 12), . 4.2.5 Type of edge, if other than slit, 4.2.6 Supplemental requirements for agencies of the U.S. Government as given in Specification B 248.
5. General Requirements 5.1 Material furnished under this specification shall conform 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.
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 subsequent 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 annealed copper sheet, strip, plate, and rolled bar, and acceptance 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.
