ASTM B36 Standard Protocol for Brass Plates, Sheets, Strips and Rolled Bars

ASTM B36 describes the mechanical characteristics, chemical composition, dimensions, and testing procedures of brass plates, strips, sheets, and rolled bars constructed from particular copper alloys. The protocol provides the minimum and maximum percentages of copper, iron, lead, and zinc in each alloy of copper. ASTM B36 offers guidelines for the production and use of brass goods. The standard offers applications in many industries, such as architecture, electronics, construction, and marine engineering.

    Introduction to ASTM B36

    ASTM B36 includes rigorous testing protocols such as tension testing, chemical analysis, and bend testing to ensure compliance with the ASTM requirements. The ASTM B36 methodology encompasses the determination of chemical composition by spectroscopy, followed by mechanical testing and inspection of dimensions using calipers. An evaluation of the surface quality of brass is also done. The final step includes the documentation of the goods as per the ASTM requirements. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM B36 tests for our clients. Applications for ASTM B36-certified brass items include heat exchangers, plumbing fittings, ornamental components, electrical connections, and hardware used in marine engineering. They are also used in a variety of musical instruments and ammunition casings where corrosion resistance is necessary.

    Test Method for ASTM B36

    This test method proceeds as follows:

    Apparatus SetupSpectrometers, calipers, microscopes, magnifying glasses, and universal testing machines.
    Major StepsThe sample is cut or machined to the required size, and chemical analysis is done to determine the chemical composition of the substance. Mechanical testing, followed by an evaluation of surface quality, is done. 

    ASTM B36 Specimens

    Specimen DetailsRectangular plates and bars of specified dimensions
    Specimen PreparationThe surface is machined to ensure flatness. 
    Specimen DimensionLength: 254 mm; Width: 127 mm; Thickness: 9.5 mm

    ASTM B36 Test Results

    ASTM B36 measures the sliding distance and wear rate of specimens. The wear rate of the specimen is measured by calculating the mass loss. ASTM B36 applies to a wide range of materials, including ceramics, metals, composites, and polymers. The wear depth is measured in SI units of millimeters, and the applied load is measured in Newton.

    Tests Related to ASTM B36ASTM B36 is similar to ASTM E238, which gauges the performance of various components of metallic devices having sliding or rolling functions.
