Wrought Copper Alloy Bar & Plate (100 through 700 series of WROUGHT copper alloy numbers) are produced to size within a plus and minus tolerance per the ASTM standards. For example if you order a 1" dia. brass rod the OD tolerance will be +/-.002". If you are finishing to 1.000" OD or less you will need to order 1.125" OD. For rolled plate 1/2" thickness tolerance would be +/-.028". If you are finishing to 0.500" or less you would need to order the next standard thickness up which for example may be 5/8" thick. Continuous Cast Copper Alloys (800 & 900 series of CAST copper alloy numbers) are produced to "Nominal" sizes. This means finishing allowance remains to finish to the published size. For example if you order a CAST aluminum bronze bar to 3" solid dia. the actual cast size will be 3" (+.063") and will finish to 3.000" diameter or less. If you would like a clean up and tolerance sheet for size ranges please let us know. Centrifugal Castings are semi-finished with .125" finishing allowance remaining on all surfaces to finish to your requested size. With all alloys it is best that we know your actual exact finished dimensions. This way we can insure that you will receive the proper amount of clean up allowance on your material per the ASTM standards. Finished Machine Parts are produced to the tolerances on your drawings.

We guarantee that all product is free from material defects such as micro-porosity, shinkage cavities, cracks and inclusions or we will replace the product. It is important to note that we do not cover any lost machine time. In the rare event you notice a problem with any material you should stop machining and let us know about the problem.
