(Specification)Standard Specification for Bronze Castings for Steam Locomotive Wearing Parts
Standard Specification for Bronze Castings for Steam Locomotive Wearing Parts
ABSTRACT
This specification establishes requirements for bronze castings for steam locomotive wearing parts. The following Copper Alloy UNS Nos. are specified: C93200, C93400, C93600, C93700, C93800, C94300, C94400, and C94500. The product shall be manufactured by such casting methods to produce a uniform finished product. The castings shall conform to the compositional requirements for named elements specified. The castings shall not be repaired, plugged, welded, or burned-in.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes requirements for bronze castings for steam locomotive wearing parts. The following Copper Alloy UNS Nos. are specified: C93200, C93400, C93600, C93700, C93800, C94300, C94400, C94500, and C95400.2
Note 1: Historically, the alloys in this specification have been used in the applications listed in the Appendix. Actual practice may vary according to locomotive type and service.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
