Sherif,

ASTM-B-584-00 C938 is a "High Lead Tin Bronze." It was previously designated as ASTM-B-144-3D and has a "common" designation of 78-7-15. Needless to say the nominal composition is 78% Cu, 7% Sn and 15% Pb. The ASTM spec title is "Copper Alloy Sand Casting."

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am working with LB5 casting( High leaded bronze) . Want to know, how to check the homogenity of the casting..? ie. I want to know whether the lead is spread evenly.
