Notes:

1. Subject to obtaining the chemical composition and mechanical properties that meet the requirements of Tables 1, 2 and 3 of these specifications, the following values of properties that are not acceptance are guaranteed:

  • bend angle of brass ЛЦ40Мц3Ж — 25 °;
  • limit of corrosion-fatigue strength based on 10x10 6 cycles (on smooth round specimens with a diameter of 10−12 mm);
  • for bronze brands BrA9Zh4N4, BrA7Mts14Zh3N2 — 176 MPa (18 kgf / mm 2);
  • for brass grade LTs40Mts3Zh — 108 MPa (11 kgf / mm 2);
  • density:
  • for bronze BrA9Zh4N4 — 7600 kg / m 3 ;
  • for bronze grade BrA7Mts14Zh3N2 — 7400 kg / m 3 ;
  • for brass LTs40Mts3Zh — 8500 kg / m 3 .

2. The values of the ultimate tensile strength, depending on the chemical composition and the content of impurities (table 1, 2) can vary within the following limits:

  • for bronze grade BrA9Zh4N4 600−730 MPa (62−70 kgf / mm 2);
  • BrA7Mts14Zh3N2 680−830 MPa (70−85 kgf / mm 2);
  • for brass ЛЦ40МЦ3Ж 460−600 MPa (47−62 kgf / mm 2).

Notes

1. If, with the permission of the representative of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping or the Customer, defects were welded in zone A, it is necessary to carry out a general thematic treatment regardless of the grade of the material.

2. In the case of correcting defects in zone C on the outer and / or inner surfaces of the screw hubs made of bronze BrA9Zh4N4 and BrA7Mts14Zh3N2, as well as the inner surface of the hubs made of brass LTs40Mts3Zh, heat treatment may not be carried out.
