Categories:: Information management | Standardization. General rules | Manufacturing | Metallurgy | Non-ferrous metals | Copper. Copper alloys

Scope

This European Standard specifies the composition, property requirements and dimensional tolerances for copper alloy hollow rod, finally produced by drawing or extruding, specifically intended for free machining purposes.

NOTE Hollow products having an outside diameter greater than 80 mm and/or a wall thickness less than 2 mm are specified in EN 12449.

The sampling procedures, the methods of test for verification of conformity to the requirements of this European Standard, are also specified.

Purpose

Revision of the Standard to introduce the acceptance criteria for eddy current test and Annex ZA.

Modification of chemical composition of certain copper-zinc-lead alloys to follow the trend to reduce lead content (Reach, DWD, RoHS,…).
