Mechanical Properties

Thickness Range: Plate thickness is typically 1.0-200 mm, customizable. Hot rolled plate thickness tolerances are subject to Table 2 of the ASME standard (specific values not disclosed).

Width and Length: Width ranges from 200-2000 mm, with standard lengths of 1000-2000 mm. Plate lengths mentioned in the evidence can be up to 3500 mm, with flatness tolerances increasing with length (e.g. 60-132 inches for 1.5 mm arc depth).

Tolerance Requirements: Thickness tolerances vary by standard, e.g. ASTM B21 has a tolerance of ±0.0045 inches (0.75-1 inch) to ±0.005 inches (2 inches) for bars, and flatness tolerances for plates are set by length.

International Standards

C46400 copper plate must comply with the following major international standards:

ASTM Standards:

ASTM B21/B21M: Standardizes the dimensions and properties of naval brass bars, covering grinding length, tolerances, and weight.

ASTM B124/B124M: Specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties and dimensional requirements of copper alloy plates.

ASTM B171/B171M: Copper alloy plates suitable for pressure vessels and heat exchangers, including flatness, surface quality, etc.

ASME standards:

ASME SB-171/SB-171M-2017: For marine brass plates, the performance requirements of hot rolled (M20) and annealed (O25) states are specified.

ASME B31.3: Involves the specifications of C46400 bolts in piping systems, such as size range, tensile strength (≥50 ksi) and temperature range.

hemical composition

Copper (Cu): 59.0%–62.0% (core component)

Tin (Sn): 0.5%–1.0% (key additive, improving corrosion resistance)

Zinc (Zn): balance (about 37.5%–39.25%)

Lead (Pb): ≤0.20% (improves processability)

Iron (Fe): ≤0.10% (impurity limit)

Other trace elements: extremely low or undetectable content of aluminum, manganese, nickel, etc.
