Scope 1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for round, square and flat phosphor bronze wire of UNS Alloy Nos. C5100, C52100 and C52400 for general and spring applications. Nore 1—A complete mewic companion (B 159M) hasbeen deve coped therefore 20 metic equivalents are presente, 1LA.1 Rectangular and square wire of the three alloys are generally available in sizes up to a maximum of 0.188 in, thick and 1.250 in. wide. 1.1.2 Round wire of Alloy UNS No. C51000 is generally available in sizes up to 0.500 in. in diameter. 1.3 Round wire of UNS Alloy Nos. C52100 and C2400 is generally available in sizes up 10 @ maximum of 0.250 in. in diameter. 12 It should be understood that this specification is ‘eneral, Since the material is used for many purposes where the requirements of the operations used are too particular to bbe specified by any of the ordinary physical tess, it is frequently advisable to submit samples or drawings 10 the ‘manufacturer and secure an adjustment of anneal or temper to suit the actual operations to which the material is to be submitted 1.3. Material in straight lengths is described by Specitica sion B 139, 2.
