QAL5

2 source records. Standards, editions and conditions are presented separately; matching grade names do not establish interchangeability.

Refer to each source for mass fractions and analysis type. Missing values are not treated as 0. Manufacturer typical values, standard guarantees and measured heat results must remain separate. Use the material selector for calculations and condition selection.

Applicability and limitations

Mass fraction wt%; Under 2.2, elements with specified lower and upper limits are alloying constituents; a single value is a minimum for copper and a maximum for other elements. A dash means unspecified; it is not entered as zero; Cu+Ag and Ni+Co are subject to combined ranges and are not converted into independent element ranges. The balance remains a balance; subtracting independent maxima does not establish a guaranteed range. Total impurities include all relevant impurities; The sum of listed elements is only a necessary condition and cannot replace complete impurity analysis. Product forms in the original document define the applicable wrought-product scope; they do not establish confirmed supply of cold-heading wire or final properties. Cu is the balance, except for QFe2.5 with an explicit Cu minimum and QTe0.5 with a minimum combined Cu+Te+Sn. Note 1: As/Sb/Bi need not be analyzed, but the supplier must guarantee that the specified limits are not exceeded. Note 5: nickel present as an impurity in tin bronze and aluminum bronze is included in copper content; Cu is the balance in this table; no independent Cu limit is invented. Total impurities ≤1.6%; major alloying elements are not simply added together.

      Verification notes

      The official GB/T 5231—2001 tables 1–4 and applicable footnotes were checked row by row against the source. The condition conflict for seven grades whose Fe content is incompatible with non-magnetic requirements is retained; it is not applied automatically.

      Applicability and limitations

      Mass fraction wt%; GB/T 5231-2012, Table 4, row 24, designation T60700; scanned PDF, PDF physical page 10. Cu is balance; dashes mean unspecified and are not replaced with zero. The total of table-listed impurities is ≤1.6%, subject to the applicable table notes. This standard provides the grade-composition basis for wrought copper and copper alloys; actual supply and cold-heading suitability require separate confirmation. Note a to Table 4: analysis of As, Sb and Bi may be omitted, but the supplier must ensure that their contents do not exceed the table limits.
