Standard Specification for General Requirements for Wire Rods and Coarse Round Wire, Carbon Steel
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification deals with the general requirements for carbon steel wire rods and uncoated coarse round wire in coils, or straightened and cut lengths. The steel shall be made by the electric-furnace, basic-oxygen, or other similar commercially accepted steel making process. The steel may be either ingot cast or strand cast. The chemical compositions for steel are specified by ranges or limits for carbon and other elements. Grain size shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of a reference material. The diameter, length and out-of-roundness of the coarse round wire and straightened and cut wire shall not vary from that specified by more than that prescribed. Mechanical tests for rods are commonly made on samples taken from the ends of coils after removing enough rings to clear any non-uniformity in the controlled cooling process. In the case of wire, tests are commonly made on samples taken from the ends of coils, thereby not impairing the usefulness of the whole coil.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers general requirements for carbon steel wire rods and uncoated coarse round wire in coils or straightened and cut lengths.
1.2 In case of conflict, the requirements in the purchase order, on the drawing, in the individual specification, and in this general specification shall prevail in the sequence named.
Note 1—A complete metric companion to this specification has been developed—Specification A 510M
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
