5、r Tension Testing of Metallic Materials3. Ordering Information3.1 It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to specifyall requirements that are necessary for material under thisspecification. Such requirements may include, but are notlimited to, the following information:3.1.1 Quantity of each
6、 size,3.1.2 Wire size, diameter in inches or (millimetres) (Section12), and3.1.3 Weight (Mass), inside diameter, and method of band-ing of coils.4. Zinc for Coating4.1 The slab zinc used for the coating shall be any grade ofzinc conforming to Specification B6.5. Base Metal5.1 The base metal shall be
7、 manufactured by any commer-cially accepted steel making practice, and of such quality that,when processed and zinc-coated, the finished wire shall havethe properties prescribed in this specification.6. Joints6.1 The wire shall be furnished in coils of one continuouslength. Welds made prior to final
8、 wire drawing shall bepermitted.7. Tensile Strength7.1 The zinc-coated wire shall have a tensile strength of notless than 50 000 psi (345 MPa), nor more than 70 000 psi (483MPa). The tensile strength of the zinc-coated wire shall bedetermined in accordance with Test Methods E8. The diameterof the wi
9、re shall be measured over the zinc coating for thepurpose of calculating the tensile strength.8. Elongation8.1 The zinc-coated wire shall have an elongation of not lessthan 10 % in 10 in. (254 mm) for nominal sizes 0.284 in. (7.21mm) and smaller. Nominal sizes larger than 0.284 in. shall havean elon
10、gation of not less than 9 % in 10 in. The elongation shallbe determined as the permanent increase in length after failureof a marked section of the wire originally 10 in. in length.9. Torsion Test9.1 The zinc-coated wire shall withstand without fracturethe minimum number of turns specified in Table
11、1. This testshall be done in accordance with Test Method A 938 and thenumber of turns to failure shall meet the requirements of Table1.10. Weight of Coating10.1 The weight of zinc coating, in ounces per square footor (grams per square metre) of uncoated wire surface, shall benot less than that speci
12、fied in Table 2.10.2 Weight of Coating TestThe zinc coating shall betested for weight by a stripping test in accordance with TestMethods A 90/A 90M.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A05 onMetallic-Coated Iron and Steel Products and is the direct responsibility ofSubcomm

15、dherence of Coating11.1 The zinc coating shall remain adherent when the wireis wrapped at a rate of not more than 15 turns per minute in aclose helix of at least 2 turns around a cylindrical mandrel ofthe diameter specified in Table 3. The zinc coating shall beconsidered as meeting this requirement
16、if, when the wire iswrapped about the specified mandrel, the coating does not flakeand none of it can be removed from the wire by rubbing withfingers. Loosening or detachment during the adhesion test ofsuperficial, small particles of zinc formed by mechanicalpolishing of the surface of zinc-coated w
17、ire shall not beconsidered cause for rejection.12. Size and Permissible Variations12.1 SizeThe size of the zinc-coated wires shall beexpressed as the diameter of the wire in decimal fractions of aninch or (millimetres).12.2 Permissible VariationsThe permissible variations ofthe zinc-coated wire from
18、 the nominal diameter shall be asspecified in Table 4.13. Workmanship, Finish and Appearance13.1 The surface of the wire shall be free from injuriousscale, flaws, splits, and other imperfections not consistent withgood commercial practice. The coating shall be continuous andreasonably uniform.14. Sa
19、mpling14.1 The inspector shall select at random one sample coilfrom every 10 coils in the first 100 coils of the lot, and onesample for every additional 35 coils but not less than 3 coilsfrom the entire lot. From each coil of zinc-coated wire thusselected, a sample of suitable length shall be taken
20、for theweight of coating and mechanical tests as specified in Sections7-11, inclusive.15. Inspection15.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchaseorder, the manufacturer is responsible for the performance ofall inspection and test requirements specified in this standard.Except as otherw
21、ise specified in the contract or purchase order,the manufacturer may use his own or any other suitable facilityfor the performance of the inspection and test requirementsunless disapproved by the purchaser at the time the order isplaced. The purchaser shall have the right to perform any of theinspec
22、tions and tests set forth in this standard when suchinspections and tests are deemed necessary to assure that thematerial conforms to prescribed requirements.16. Rejection16.1 Failure of any of the test specimens to comply with therequirements of this specification shall constitute grounds forreject
23、ion of the lot represented by the specimen. The lot may bere-submitted for inspection by testing every coil for thecharacteristics in which the specimen failed, and sorting out thedefective coils.17. Packaging17.1 The finished zinc-coated wire shall be furnished incompact coils reasonably symmetrica
24、l in shape. The weight,inside diameter, and method of banding of the coils shall beagreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.18. Marking18.1 Adurable tag shall be attached to each coil showing thenominal size of wire and the name or mark of the manufacturer.The starting end of each coil
25、 shall be indicated by a suitabletag.19. Keywords19.1 armor wire; zinc coated steel armor wireTABLE 1 Minimum Number of TurnsNominal Wire Diameter, in.

28、BLE 4 Permissible Variations in Diameter of Zinc-Coated WireNOTE 1It is recognized that the surfaces of zinc coatings, particularlythose produced by hot-dip galvanizing, are not perfectly smooth anddevoid of irregularities. If the tolerances shown are rigidly applied to suchirregularities that are i
29、nherent to the product, unjustified rejections of wirethat would actually be satisfactory for use could occur. Therefore, it isintended that these tolerances be used in gaging the uniform areas of thegalvanized wire.Nominal Diameter of Coated Wire, in. (mm)Permissible Variations, plusor minus, in. (
