Suggestions for improvements will be recorded and in due course brought to the notice

13、of the committees charged with the revision of the standards to which they refer. A complete list of British Standards, numbering over5000, fully indexed and with a note of the contents of each, will be found in the British Standards Yearbook, price 1. The BS Yearbook may be consulted in many public

14、 libraries and similar institutions. This standard makes reference to the following British Standards: BS443, Galvanized coatings on wire. BS4545, Methods for mechanical testing of steel wire. BS6200, Sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals. BS6562, Terms used in the iron and s

15、teel industry. BS6562-1, Glossary of heat treatment terms. This British Standard is authorized by the Iron and Steel Industry Standards Committee. The wire diameters specified are taken from the preferred series of metric sizes in order to provide reasonable equivalence with present inch sizes which

16、 are in common usage. The tensile strengths specified in this standard are in line with industrial practice within the United Kingdom. NOTEAttention is drawn to certification facilities offered by BSI; see the back cover of this standard. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necess

17、ary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1to4

18、 and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.BS4637:1970 BSI 06-1999 1 1 Scope 1.1 This British Standard specifies the requirements for patented cold drawn plain

19、 carbon steel round wire, suitable for the manufacture of tension or compression coil and helical springs used in the production of spring centre units for beds and seats. Wire to this standard is not intended for use in the manufacture of mechanical springs. The definition of patenting is given in

20、BS6562-1. 1.2 The standard lists specific metric sizes of wire and gives a choice of tensile strength ranges. 2 Information to be supplied by the purchaser For ordering purposes, the wire shall be designated by: 1) the number of this British Standard, i.e.BS4637; 2) the nominal diameter; 3) the tens

21、ile strength range. Example: 1.6mm bedding and seating wire of tensile strength1550/1750N/mm 2shall be ordered as “BS4637,1.6mm,1550/1750N/mm 2 ”. Any requirements for surface coating shall be clearly stated on the order. 3 Steelmaking process The steel may be made by any process except that the air

22、, and mixed air-oxygen, bottom blown basic converter process shall not be used. 4 Chemical composition The cast analysis of the steel shall be within the limits specified in Table 1. Table 1 Chemical composition 5 Standard sizes and diameter tolerances 5.1 The standard wire sizes are given in Table

23、2. 5.2 The diameter tolerance and the ovality of the wire shall not exceed the limits given in Table 2. The ovality shall be measured as the difference between the maximum and minimum dimension at any one cross section. Table 2 Standard sizes, tolerances and ovality 6 Finished wire 6.1 Freedom from

24、defects. The finished wire shall be free from harmful surface defects, pipe and segregation. 6.2 Condition. The wire shall be supplied in a smooth, bright drawn condition, unless otherwise specified. The wire may be supplied with a galvanized or other coating, when so specified by the purchaser on h

25、is order. The coating requirements shall be the subject of an agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. (See8.2.) Wire supplied in coil form shall lie dead and shall be free from any cork-screw set. Element Percentage Min. Max. Carbon 0.35 0.80 Silicon 0.35 Manganese 0.40 1.00 Sulphur 0.

28、 carrying out the mechanical tests specified in Clause9 shall be in accordance with BS4545 1) . In routine testing with fixed gear type tensile testing machines, the straining rate shall be preset to give a rate of separation of the grips not greater than40% of the test length per minute. 8.2 The me

29、thods of carrying out any specified tests on a galvanized coating shall be in accordance with BS443 2) . The methods of testing a coating of another type, where this is specified on the order, shall be the subject of an agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 8.3 In case of dispute, wh

30、en a check analysis is required on the wire, the method of test shall be in accordance with the appropriate method in Handbook No19 3)account being taken of the heterogeneity normal to the steel. 9 Mechanical properties 9.1 Tensile test. When tested in accordance with8.1, the tensile strength, calcu

31、lated on the nominal diameter of the wire, shall be in accordance with the appropriate tensile strength range given in Table 3. Table 3 Tensile strength ranges 9.2 Wrapping test. When tested in accordance with8.1, the wire shall be capable of being wrapped at least two turns around its own diameter,

32、 without fracture. 10 Retests 10.1 Should any test piece fail any of the tests, part of the coil may be discarded and the coil retested in accordance with this standard. 10.2 If both of the additional test pieces pass the tests, the coil shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of this standa

33、rd. If either of the additional test pieces fail any one of the tests, the coil shall be deemed not to comply with the requirements of this standard. 11 Packing and identification The wire shall be securely tied and shall carry a suitable label or labels on which shall be shown the information indic

34、ated in Clause2. Any other markings shall be agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 1) BS4545, “Methods for mechanical testing of steel wire”. 2) BS443, “Galvanized coatings on wire”. 3) BS Handbook No19, “Methods for the sampling and analysis of iron, steel, and other ferrous metals”.
