    Introduction to ASTM B16

    Bars, rods, wires, and other shapes used in screw machining operations are described in ASTM B16. Free-cutting copper alloys with UNS Nos. C36010 or C36000 are used to make these goods. They are employed in machines for light thread rolling or high-speed screwing operations. ASTM B16 provides the standard standards for copper alloy components used in screw machines. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM B16 tests for our clients. 

    ASTM B16 Test Method

    FurnishingThe H02 half-hard temper is required for the rod and bar.
    Tensile TestTensile requirements are the mechanical property acceptance criteria for products that, when evaluated, have a diameter or gap between parallel surfaces of less than 1/2 in. [12 mm].

    ASTM B16 Test Specimens

    Specimen SizeFree-cutting copper alloys are used as specimens.
    Specimen DetailThe product should have a diameter or distance between parallel surfaces of 1⁄2 in. [12 mm], and beyond.

    ASTM B16 Test Result

    Conclusively, ASTM B16 specifies requirements for free-cutting brass rods, bars, and forms intended for screw machine application. Offering extensive requirements, it ensures that the brass products meet strict quality and performance standards suitable for their application in screw machining procedures.

    ASTM B16 Related Tests

    ASTM B16 is related to tests, including ASTM B249 for copper alloys, rods, and forging specifications and ASTM B250 for wrought copper alloy.
