ASTM B30-23

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: B30 − 22 B30 − 23
Standard Specification for
Copper Alloys in Ingot and Other Remelt Forms
This standard is issued under the fixed designation B30; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original
adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript
epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification establishescovers the requirements for copper alloys in ingot and other forms including granules, nuggets,
pellets, or shot for remelting for the manufacturing of castings having the Copper Alloy UNS No. designation, commercial
designations and nominal composition shown in Table 1 and Table 2. Product delivered in forms other than ingot shall be upon
agreement between the supplier and purchaser.
1.2 A cross reference of Copper Alloy UNS Nos. and copper alloy casting specifications is given in Table 3.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This 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.

3.2.5 Place of inspection (Section 14).
3.2.6 Type of ingot surface (5.1).
4. Material and Manufacture
4.1 Material—Any material may be used which when melted will produce an alloy of the required chemical composition and
mechanical requirements.
4.2 Manufacture:
4.2.1 Any manufacturing process may be used that will yield ingot of uniform composition that is free of defects of a nature that
would render the ingot unsuitable for remelting.
4.2.2 Each heat or lot of ingot shall maintain heat identification numbers.
5. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance
5.1 The ingots or other remelt forms shall have the surface specified in the purchase order (3.2.6).
6. Chemical Composition
6.1 The ingot shall conform to the requirements given in Table 4 or Table 5 for the specified alloy. Ingot is an intermediate product,
therefore the limits listed in Table 4 and Table 5 may be more restrictive than those applicable for cast products produced from
the ingot after remelting.
