Стандарты обозначения медных сплавов в Европе, Северная Америка, и другие страны используют отдельные системы классификации меди и ее сплавов.. Each system has its unique designation method, providing clarity in identifying copper materials.
European Copper Alloy Designation Standards: CEN
North American Copper Alloy Designation Standards: ASTM/CDA
Международный, French, and German Copper Alloy Designation Standards: ISO/NF/DIN
British Copper Alloy Designation Standards: БС RU
Russian Copper Alloy Designation Standards: GOST
Japanese Copper Alloy Designation Standards: ОН
European Copper Alloy Designation Standards: CEN
In Europe, the Comité Européen de Normalisation (CEN) has developed a unified system using a six-digit alphanumeric code. The first letter, “спрей / спрей“, denotes a copper alloy. The second letter specifies the product form:
Б: Ingot for re-melting to produce cast products
спрей / спрей: Cast products
F: Filler materials for brazing and welding
M: Master alloys
R: Refined unwrought copper
С: Scrap
W: Wrought products
X: Non-standard materials
Three numbers follow to identify the material, and the final letter classifies individual copper material groups, expanding the designation system’s capacity.
North American Copper Alloy Designation Standards: ASTM/CDA
The Unified Numbering System (НАС), managed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (САЭ), standardizes copper alloys in North America. This system employs five-digit numbers preceded by the letter “спрей / спрей”. The UNS system builds upon the older three-digit system from the Copper Development Association (CDA). Например, CDA Alloy No.360, a free-cutting brass, is now UNS C36000. UNS designations are integral to ASTM, АСМЭ, and SAE standards.
C10000 – C79999: Wrought alloys
C80000 – C99999: Cast alloys
ASTM further categorizes copper alloys into series:
C100 Series: Coppers
C200 Series: Brasses
C300 Series: Leaded Brasses
C400 Series: Tin Brasses
C500 Series: Phosphor Bronzes
C600 Series: Bronzes
C700 Series: Nickel Silvers
These categories are further divided into six major groups: coppers, high-alloy coppers, brasses, bronzes, copper-nickels, and nickel silvers. Alloys outside these categories are termed “other copper-zinc alloys” (wrought) или “special alloys” (cast).
Международный, French, and German Copper Alloy Designation Standards: ISO/NF/DIN
The International Organization for Standardization (ИСО), French Association Française de Normalisation (AFNOR), and German Deutsches Institut für Normung (ОТ) use similar naming conventions for copper and copper alloys. These standards typically begin with “Cu” followed by the chemical symbols of the alloying elements and their percentages. Например, CuZn39Pb3 represents a brass alloy with 39% zinc and 3% lead, while CuSn6 denotes a bronze with 6% tin. This unified approach facilitates easy comparison and understanding across these standards. Specific examples include:
ISO/NF/DIN CuZn37: Brass with 37% zinc
ISO/NF/DIN CuSn5PbZn5: Bronze with 5% tin, lead, и 5% zinc
ISO/NF/DIN CuNi10Fe1Mn: Copper-nickel alloy with 10% nickel, 1% железо, and manganese
British Copper Alloy Designation Standards: БС RU
British Standards (БС) for copper and copper alloys use a system similar to the European CEN standards. The designation typically begins with “БС RU” followed by the standard number and material designation. Например:
БС RU 12163 CW508L: Copper-phosphorus alloy rod
Russian Copper Alloy Designation Standards: GOST
Russian copper standards are defined by the GOST (State Standard) система. The naming convention typically includes the material type followed by a number. For copper alloys, it often starts with “М” (for медь, meaning copper). Examples include:
М1: Pure copper
ЛС59-1: Brass with 59% copper and 1% lead
БрОЦС4-4-2.5: Bronze with 4% tin, 4% zinc, и 2.5% lead
Japanese Copper Alloy Designation Standards: ОН
Japanese JIS copper standards align closely with ISO standards. They begin with the prefix JIS, followed by “спрей / спрей” for copper and copper alloys, and a four-digit number indicating alloying elements.
Numeric Part:
First Digit:
Generally indicates the primary component of the alloy. Например:
“1” represents pure copper (Cu).
“2” indicates copper-zinc alloys (латунь).
“3” indicates copper-zinc-lead alloys.
“4” indicates copper-zinc-tin alloys.
“5” indicates copper-tin alloys (бронза).
“6” indicates copper-aluminum alloys.
“7” indicates copper-nickel alloys.
Second Digit:
Usually indicates the type of major alloying element present. Например:
“0” means no additional alloying elements.
“1” indicates adding a specific alloying element (such as tin, nickel, и т.п.).
Third Digit:
Represents the content or characteristics of other alloying elements. This number can denote specific ratios or additional properties of the alloy.
Fourth Digit:
Often used to further differentiate various alloys within the same category, possibly indicating specific processing characteristics or applications.
JIS C1020: Cu 99.9%
JIS C2720: Cu-Zn (латунь)
JIS C5191: Cu-Sn-P (phosphor bronze)
JIS C3601: Cu-Zn-Pb (lead alloyed brass)
JIS C6801: Cu-Zn-Al (латунь)
JIS C4430: Cu-Zn-Sn (латунь)
