1、Designation: A679/A679M 06 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Specification forSteel Wire, High Tensile Strength, Cold Drawn1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A679/A679M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers round, uncoated, high tensilestrength, cold-drawn steel spring wire, having proper
3、ties andquality suitable for the manufacture of mechanical springs andwire forms subject to high static stresses or infrequent dynamicload, or both.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system are not exact equ
4、ivalents; therefore, each systemmust be used independently of the other.2.

Chemical Composition6.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements for chemicalcomposition prescribed in Table 2.6.2 Heat AnalysisEach heat of steel shall be analyze
17、d bythe manufacturer to determine the percentage of elementsprescribed in Table 2. This analysis shall be made from a testspecimen preferably taken during the pouring of the heat.When requested, in the purchase order, the heat analysis shallbe reported to the purchaser.6.3 Product AnalysisAn analysi
18、s may be made by thepurchaser from finished wire representing each heat of steel.The chemical composition thus determined, as to elementsrequired or restricted, shall conform to the product analysisrequirements specified in Table 7 of Specifications A510 orA510M.6.4 For referee purposes, Test Method
