Annotation of standard text ASTM B453/B453M-19(2026) :

This specification establishes the requirements for rods, bars, wires, and shapes of copper-zinc-lead alloys (leaded-brass) with Copper Alloy UNS Nos. C33500, C34000, C34500, C35000, C35300, and C35600. The products to which this specification applies is suitable for applications requiring extensive machining before such cold-forming processes as swaging, flaring, severe knurling, or thread rolling. Products shall be produced in tempers O60 (soft annealed), H01 (1/4 hard), and H02 (1/2 hard). Products shall be tested to examine their conformance to dimensional (diameter, shape, length, and straightness), mechanical (tensile and yield strength, Rockwell hardness, and elongation), and chemical composition requirements.
