This specification covers the requirements for UNS C95300, C95400, C95410, C95500, C95800, C87500, C87800, C87850, and C89540 copper alloy permanent mold castings for general applications. UNS C95800 copper alloy used in sea water applications should be heat treated for better corrosion resistance. In general, alloys included in this specification are weldable. Mechanical properties like the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation are determined from separately cast test bar castings and should conform to the specified requirements.
