Abstract
This specification covers the standard for commercial bronze strip for manufacture of bullet jacket cups and ammunition components from copper alloy UNS No. C22000. The specimens shall be manufactured by such hot working, cold working, and annealing processes to produce a uniform wrought structure. Each specimen shall be subjected to tension test and Rockwell hardness test. In addition to tensile properties for strips, purchaser may also specify grain size. If specimens fail to conform to the prescribed specification, analysis shall be made on a new composite sample.
This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
Significance and Use
17.1 For purposes of determining compliance with the specified property limits for the properties listed in the following table, an observed value of a calculated value shall be rounded as indicated in accordance with the rounding method of Practice E29:
| Property | Rounded Unit for Observed or |
|
|
|
| Chemical composition | nearest unit in the last right-hand |
| Tensile strength | nearest ksi (5 MPa) |
| Grain size: |
|
| Up to 0.055 mm, incl | nearest multiple of 0.005 mm |
| Over 0.055 to 0.160 mm, incl | nearest 0.01 mm |
| Elongation: |
|
| 5 % and over | nearest 1 % |
1. Scope
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for commercial bronze strip for manufacture of bullet jacket cups and ammunition components from Copper Alloy UNS No. C22000.2
1.2 Units—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.
1.3 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.
