The properties and characteristics of wrought aluminium alloy products are significantly influenced by their complete thermal history, with the most critical effects established by final heat treating operations. Heat treating encompasses all controlled heating and cooling operations performed on metals in solid state to alter structure or properties. The temper designation system, according to ANSI H35.1(M), applies to all forms of wrought and cast aluminium alloys except ingot.
ASTM B601 provides standardized terminology for indicating tempers of copper and copper alloy products. This article presents comprehensive classifications of temper designations organized according to U.S. manufacturing terminology, including annealed, manufactured, cold-worked, heat-treated, and welded tube tempers.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the UNI standards for steel materials, structured across three volumes. It details specifications for carbon and alloy steels, boiler plates, pressure vessels, sheet and strip products, high-strength low-alloy steels, heat-treatable steels, and various steel pipes and tubes for specialized applications. For each standard, key information including standard number, grade, chemical composition, and mechanical properties is presented.
