rounded edge, full-rounded edge),
5.2.2 Mechanical properties (tension test and hardness)
(Section 10),
5.2.3 Certification, and
5.2.4 Mill Test Report.
6. Materials and Manufacture
6.1 Material:
6.1.1 The material of manufacture shall be Copper Alloy
UNS No. C17000, C17200, or C17300, cast and worked and of
such purity and soundness as to be suitable for processing into
the products prescribed herein.
6.1.2 Heat traceability shall be maintained and reported on
the Mill Test Report or Certification.
6.2 Manufacture:
6.2.1 The product shall be produced with a combination hot
working, cold working, and thermal processing to produce a
uniform wrought structure and the specified temper.
7. Chemical Composition
7.1 The material shall conform to the chemical composition
requirements prescribed in Table 1 for Copper Alloy UNS No.
designation specified in the ordering information.
7.2 These composition limits do not preclude the presence
of other elements. Limits for unnamed elements may be
established and analysis required by agreement between the
manufacturer, or supplier, and purchaser.
7.3 Copper is customarily given as remainder, but may be
taken as the difference between the sum of all elements
analyzed and 100 %.
7.4 When all the elements in Table 1 are determined, the
sum of results shall be 99.5 % min.
8. Temper
8.1 The standard temper designations available under this
specification and as specified in Practice B 601 are solution
heat-treated TB00 (A), and cold-drawn hard TD04 (H), (see
Table 2) to be precipitation heat treated by the user. Also
available are products already precipitation heat treated by the
manufacturer, tempers TF00 (AT) and TH04 (HT). These
products meet property requirements in Table 3 and normally
require no further heat treatment by the user.
9. Precipitation Heat Treatment
9.1 The precipitation heat treatment is performed on TB00
(A) and TD04 (H) tempers by the purchaser, after machining or
forming.
9.2 Conformance to the TF00 (AT) and TH04 (HT) speci-
fication limits shown in Table 3, for products supplied in the
TB00 (A) or the TD04 (H) tempers, shall be determined by
testing test specimens heat treated at a uniform temperature of
600 to 675°F (316 to 357°C) for the times shown in Table 4.
9.3 End products may be heat treated at other times and
temperatures for specific applications. These special combina-
tions of properties such as increased ductility, electrical con-
ductivity, dimensional accuracy, endurance life, and resistance
to elastic drift and hysteresis in springs, may be obtained by
special precipitation-hardening heat treatments. The mechani-
cal requirements of Table 3 do not apply to such special heat
treatments. Specific test requirements as needed shall be agreed
upon between the manufacturer or supplier and purchaser of
the end product.
9.4 TF00 (AT) and TH04 (HT) tempers as standard mill-
hardened products have been precipitation heat treated and
tested by the manufacturer for conformance to the specification
limits shown in Table 3. Further thermal treatments of these
tempers are not normally required.
10. Mechanical Property Requirements
10.1 Tensile Test Requirements:
10.1.1 The tension test, in accordance with Test Methods
E 8 or 8M, shall be the standard test for rod (round, hexagonal,
and octagonal) and bar (square) having a nominal diameter or
distance between parallel surfaces up to 3⁄8 in. [10 mm] incl,
and other shapes having a nominal cross-sectional area up to
0.141 in.2 [100 mm2], incl. The tensile strength requirements
shall be prescribed in Table 2 and Table 3 after precipitation
heat treatment in accordance with 8.1.
10.2 Rockwell Hardness Requirements:
10.2.1 Hardness shall be the standard test for round, hex-
agonal, octagonal, and square rod larger than 3⁄8 in. [1 mm]
nominal diameter or distance between parallel surfaces and
other shapes having a nominal cross-sectional area exceeding

SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Committee B05 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue
(B 196/B 196M – 03) that may impact the use of this standard. (Approved April 1, 2007.)
(1) Corrected the metric values in Section 10, Table 2, and
Table 3 and changed the chemistry in Table 1 to correspond to
the CDA chemistry.
(2) In 4.2.1 the definition for grain count was eliminated as it
does not appear in the standard.
(3) Definitions for Heat and Lot in Section 14 were moved to
Section 4, but no change was made to definitions.
(4) Section 18 was a redundant portion of Section 3 and was
removed. The following section was renumbered.
(5) In Table 2 there was an overlap in the metric equivalent
values 10 to 26 (incl.) and over 25 to 75 mm. This was
corrected to the proper 10 – 25 incl. and over 25 to 75.
