Chemical Composition5.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements for chemicalcomposition specified in Table 2.5.2 Heat AnalysisEach heat of steel shall be analyzed bythe manufacturer to determine the percentage of elementsprescribed in Table

17、 2. This analysis shall be made from a testspecimen preferably taken during the pouring of the heat.When requested, this shall be reported to the purchaser andshall conform to the requirements of Table 2.5.3 Product AnalysisAn analysis may be made by thepurchaser from finished wire representing each

18、 heat of steel.The average of all the separate determinations made shall bewithin the limits specified in the analysis column. Individualdeterminations may vary to the extent shown in the productanalysis tolerance column, except that the several determina-tions of a single element in any one heat sh

19、all not vary bothabove and below the specified range.5.4 For referee purposes, Test Methods, Practices, andTerminology A751 shall be used.6. Mechanical Properties6.1 Annealed and Cold DrawnWhen purchased in theannealed and cold-drawn condition, the wire shall have beengiven a sufficient amount of co

20、ld working to meet the purchas-ers coiling requirements and shall be in a suitable condition torespond properly to heat treatment. In special cases thehardness, if desired, shall be stated in the purchase order.6.2 Quenched and TemperedWhen purchased in thequenched and tempered condition, the tensil

21、e strength andreduction of area (% R.A.) shall conform to the requirementsprescribed in Table 3, Table 4,orTable 5. Percent reduction ofthe area (% R.A.) is not applicable to wire diameters under2.0 mm 0.080 in.6.2.1 Tensile Strength of Shaped and Flat Rolled WireTensile strength of shaped and flat

22、rolled wires shall conform tothese tables based on the conversion to equivalent rounddimensions.

25、 MethodThe tension test shall be made inaccordance with Test Methods and Definitions A370. Forshaped wires, cross sectional area shall be calculated by eitherusing the procedure in Test Methods E8 (Subsection 7.2.2) foruniform but nonsymmetrical cross-sections, or by measuringwidth and thickness and

26、 multiplying by a shape factor. Reduc-tion of area for shaped wires shall be calculated by using thisshape factor. Measure the maximum and minimum dimensionon the necked down section and multiply by the shape factor toestimate the cross sectional area for use in the standardreduction of area calcula

27、tion.6.2.5.1 Upon agreement between purchaser and supplier,the shape factor for the design provided by the wire mill shallbe permissible to be adopted for use. In other situations if theshape factor is not available from the wire mill, the shapefactor shall be calculated by measuring the cross secti

30、 ona mandrel twice the diameter without breakage. Larger diam-eter wire up to and including 8.00 mm 0.315 in. shall wrapwithout breakage on a mandrel three times the wire diameter.The wrap test is not applicable to wire over 8.00 mm0.315 in. in diameter or to shaped and flat rolled wires.6.3.3 Numbe

Imperfections deeper than 0.04 mm 0.0016 in.shall be properly marked so the purchaser has th
