1.2This specification is general in that the product is used in many applications where the requirements are too particular to be specified by standard test results.
1.2.1For particular or critical applications it is advisable for the purchaser to submit samples or drawings to the manufacturer to secure an adjustment of anneal or temper to suit the application for which the product is intended.
1.3The following information is intended to assist the purchaser in the application of this specification:
1.3.1For most general applications—UNS Alloy Nos. C71000, C74500, C75200, and C75700.
1.3.2For hard or spring tempers—UNS Alloy Nos. C76400 and C77000.
1.3.3For ease of machining—UNS Alloy No. C79200.
1.4Units—Values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
1.5This 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.
