Materials and Manufacture5.1 The steel may be made by any commercially accepted steel-making process. The rod to be used in the manufacture of wirefurnished to this specification sha
24、ll be in accordance with Specification A510/A510M.5.2 The finished wire shall be free from detrimental pipe and undue segregation.5.3 The wire shall be cold drawn to produce the desired mechanical properties.5.3.1 Type 1 wire shall be directly drawn from either as-rolled rods or from air patented ro
25、ds or wire to the final wire diameter.5.3.2 Type 2 wire shall be drawn from either patented rod or patented wire to the final wire diameter. Air patenting is notallowed.5.3.3 Type 2 wire may be substituted for Type 1 wire. Conversely, Type 1 wire may not be substituted for Type 2 wire.NOTE 2The meth
26、od of patenting, and in particular the method utilized for controlled cooling, can be designed to optimize the microstructure andmechanical properties of either patented wire rod or patented wire, as well as of wires drawn from either of these. Because patenting is performed in alinear manner rather
27、 than in a coiled or serpentine manner, the uniformity of microstructure and mechanical properties along the patented wire or patentedwire rod length is improved compared to that existing in either of these prior to patenting.6. Chemical Composition6.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements for
28、 chemical composition prescribed in Table 2.6.2 Heat AnalysisEach heat of steel shall be analyzed by the manufacturer to determine the percentage of elements prescribedin Table 2. This analysis shall be made from a test specimen preferably taken during the pouring of the heat. When requested inthe p
29、urchase order, the heat analysis shall be reported to the purchaser.6.3 Product AnalysisAn analysis may be made by the purchaser from finished wire representing each heat of steel. Thechemical composition thus determined, as to elements required or restricted, shall conform to the product analysis r

34、in Table 3 for a minimum of four fullwraps.

In this case, the minimumnumber of torsions to failure will be equivalent to 25 in a test length of 100d.7
36、.3.2 Number of testsTestsOne test specimen shall be taken from the top or outside end of each coil, reel, or spool and shallbe tested for conformance.7.3.3 Test MethodTest specimens shall be prepared and tested as shown in A938 with the following exception. The minimumnumber of torsions (twists) to
37、failure in a test length of 100d (where d = the wire diameter being tested) are shown in Table 4.7.3.4 Following completion of the torsion test, the torsion fracture shall be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the testspecimen and the surface of the test specimen shall not be split. Secondary
38、 (recoil) fractures shall be ignored.7.3.5 Test lengths other than 100d may be utilized. In this case, the minimum number of torsions to failure shall be adjustedin direct proportion to the change in test length as determined by the following formula:Tx 5Td 3LxLd(1)whereTx = minimum number of torsio
39、ns for new test length,Td = minimum number of torsions for 100d test length,Lx = new test length, andLd = 100d test lengthLd = 100d test length.7.3.6 For wire diameters over 0.283 in. 7.2 mm, the requirement for torsion testing shall be negotiated between purchaser andsupplier and shall be included
