It will be noted that the Rockwell hardness and tensile strength limits 

 for alloy E brass are given only for material 1, 2 and 4 numbers 

 hard. This alloy is not normally used in higher tempers as it is 

 especially adapted for use where both forming and machining opera- 

 tions are involved, so that higher leaded or harder materials would 

 not be suitable. 



The chemical composition requirements for alloy E brass sheet are 

 given in Table VI.
