This table contains mechanical property reference data for Copper based alloys.
This table includes Form, Temper, Yield strength, Tensile strength, Elongation and Brinnel hardness information.
(Tabulated in accordance with the Unified Numbering System for Metals and Alloys (UNS), Society of Automotive Engineers, Warrendale, Pa., 1975. This reference contains the cross reference numbers for AISI, ASTM, FED, MIL SPEC, and SAE specifications. All yield strengths are by 0.5 percent offset method. Multiply strength in MPa by 0.145 to get strength in kpsi.)
