ASTM B212 – Standard Test Method for Apparent Density of Free-Flowing Metal Powders Using the Hall Flowmeter Funnel Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a guide for evaluation of an important physical characteristic of a powder known as the apparent density. The measured apparent density bears a relationship to the mass of powder …
ASTM B170 – Standard Specification for Oxygen-Free Electrolytic Copper—Refinery Shapes Description: Abstract This specification covers grade 1 ( UNS C10100) and grade 2 (UNS C10200) of oxygen-free electrolytic copper wire bars, billets, and cakes produced without the use of metallic or metaloidal deoxidizers. The chemical composition of each grade shall be in accordance with the …
ASTM B154 – Standard Test Method for Mercurous Nitrate Test for Copper Alloys Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is an accelerated test for detecting the presence of residual (internal) stresses that might result in failure of individual parts in storage or in service due to stress corrosion cracking. 5.2 This test method is not …
ASTM B137 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Coating Mass Per Unit Area on Anodically Coated Aluminum Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is a destructive test procedure suitable for quality control within manufacturing operations for coating mass on anodically coated aluminum and aluminum alloys. The mass of the coating is an approximation …
ASTM B136 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Stain Resistance of Anodic Coatings on Aluminum Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is intended to determine whether anodic oxide coatings on aluminum and its alloys have been properly sealed and as a result are resistant to absorbing dyes. Abstract This specification covers measurement of …
ASTM B537 – Standard Practice for Rating of Electroplated Panels Subjected to Atmospheric Exposure Description: Abstract This practice covers the recommended method for rating the condition of electroplated test panels subjected to corrosive environments for test purposes. This method is used with standard-sized panels exposed on standard ASTM racks at outdoor test sites in both …
ASTM B528 – Standard Test Method for Transverse Rupture Strength of Powder Metallurgy (PM) Specimens Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is used to measure the strength of sintered, including post-treated, specimens. Transverse rupture strength is not a design value. For many sintered materials, transverse rupture strength is approximately twice the ultimate tensile strength. …
ASTM B527 – Standard Test Method for Tap Density of Metal Powders and Compounds Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the tap density physical characteristic of metal powders and related compounds. The measured tap density bears a relationship to the mass of powder that will fill a fixed volume die …
ASTM B505 – Standard Specification for Copper Alloy Continuous Castings Description: Abstract This specification establishes requirements for continuously cast rod, bar, tube, and shapes produced from copper alloys with nominal compositions. Castings produced to this specification may be manufactured for and supplied from stock. Mechanical tests are required only when specified by the purchaser in …
ASTM B504 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Thickness of Metallic Coatings by the Coulometric Method Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Measurement of the thickness of a coating is essential to assessing its utility and cost. 4.2 The coulometric method destroys the coating over a very small (about 0.1 cm2) test area. Therefore its use is …
