Ordering Information3.1 Orders for material under this specification shall includethe following information:3.1.1 Quantity of each size and class,3.1.2 Wire size, diameter in inches (see 5.3 and Table 1),3.1.3 Class of wire (see 1.2 and Table 1),3.1.4 Packaging and shipping (Sect
7、ion 10),3.1.5 If inspection is required (see 6.3.3), and3.1.6 Place of inspection (see 6.1).4. Material4.1 The wire shall consist of a core of homogeneousopen-hearth, electric-furnace, or basic-oxygen steel with acontinuous outer cladding of copper thoroughly bonded to thecore throughout and shall b
8、e of such quality as to meet therequirements of this specification (Note 1).NOTE 1The copper-clad steel wire provides a high-strength conductorfor use in wire and cable where greater strength is required and a lowerconductivity can be tolerated. At high frequencies the reduced conductiv-ity is less
9、pronounced due to concentration of the current in the outerperiphery of the wire. Minimum thickness of 6 % and 10 % of the radiusfor 30 and 40 % conductivity material, respectively, has been establishedto facilitate the inspection of thickness on fine wires.5. General Requirements5.1 Tensile Strengt
10、h and ElongationThe copper-clad steelwire shall conform to the tensile strength and elongationrequirements of Table 1. For intermediate sizes not listed inTable 1, the elongation requirements of the next smaller sizeshall apply; in the case of tensile strength, the requirements ofthe next larger siz
11、e shall apply.5.2 ResistivityThe electrical resistivity at a temperature of20C shall not exceed the values prescribed in Table 2. SeeNote 2 for calculating electrical resistance.NOTE 2Relationships which may be useful in connection with thevalues of electrical resistivity prescribed in this specific
12、ation are shown inTable 3. Resistivity units are based on the International Annealed CopperStandard (IACS) adopted by IEC in 1913, which is158 Vmm2/m at 20Cfor 100 % conductivity. The value of 0.017241 Vmm2/m and the value of0.15328 Vg/m2at 20C are respectively the international equivalent ofvolume
13、and weight resistivity of annealed copper equal to 100 %conductivity. The latter term means that a copper wire 1 in. in length andweighing 1 g would have a resistance of 0.15328 V. This is equivalent toa resistivity value of 875.20V lb/mile2, which signifies the resistance ofa copper wire 1 mile in
14、length weighing 1 lb. It is also equivalent, forexample, to 1.7241 V/cm of length of a copper bar 1 cm2in cross section.A complete discussion of this subject is contained in NBS Handbook 100.The use of five significant figures in expressing resistivity does not implythe need for greater accuracy of
15、measurement than that specified in TestMethod B 193. The use of five significant figures is required for completereversible conversion from one set of resistivity units to another.5.3 Dimensions and Permissible VariationsThe wire sizes1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B

36、 this specification.The sample sizes and conformance criteria given for the various charac-teristics are applicable only to lots produced under these conditions.6.1.1 Unless otherwise agreed by the manufacturer and thepurchaser, conformance of the wire to the various requirementslisted in Section 5
37、shall be determined on samples taken fromeach lot of wire presented for acceptance.6.1.2 The manufacturer shall, if requested prior to inspec-tion, certify that all wire in the lot was made under suchconditions that the product as a whole conforms to therequirements of this specification as determin
38、ed by regularlymade and recorded tests.6.2 Definitions:6.2.1 lotany amount of wire of one class and size pre-sented for acceptance at one time, such amount, however, notto exceed 10 000 lb (4500 kg) (Note 5).NOTE 5A lot should comprise material taken from a product regularlymeeting the requirements
39、of this specification. Inspection of individuallots of less than 500 lb (230 kg) of wire cannot be justified economically.For small lots of 500 lb (230 kg) or less, the purchaser may agree to themanufacturers regular inspection of the product as a whole as evidence ofacceptability of such small lots
40、.6.2.2 samplea quantity of production units (coils, reels,etc.) selected at random from the lot for the purpose ofdetermining conformance of the lot to the requirements of thisspecification.6.2.3 specimena length of wire removed for test purposesfrom any individual production unit of the sample.6.3
41、Sample SizeThe number of production units in asample (see Note 4) shall be as follows:6.3.1 For tensile strength, elongation, resistivity, and adhe-sion and other defects, the sample shall consist of fourproduction units. For surface finish the sampling shall be inaccordance with Table 4. From each
42、unit, one test specimen ofsufficient length shall be removed for the performance of therequired tests.6.3.2 For dimensional measurements, the sample shall con-sist of a quantity of production units shown in Table 5 underheading “First Sample.”6.3.3 For packaging inspection (when specified by thepurc
43、haser at the time of placing the order), the sample shallconsist of a quantity of production units as shown in Table 4.7. Test Methods7.1 Tensile Strength and ElongationThe tensile strength,expressed in pounds per square inch (or kilograms-force persquare millimetre), shall be obtained by dividing t
44、he maximumload carried by the specimen during the tension test, by theoriginal cross-sectional area of the specimen. Tensile strengthand elongation may be determined simultaneously on the samespecimen.7.1.1 For Classes 30A and 40A, the elongation of wire maybe determined as the permanent increase in
45、 length, expressedin percent of the original length, due to the breaking of the wirein tension, measured between gage marks placed originally 10in. (250 mm) apart upon the test specimen (Note 6). Theelongation of wire shall be determined as described above orby measurements made between the jaws of
46、the testingmachine. When the latter method is used, the zero length shallbe the distance between the jaws at the start of the tension testwhen 10 % of the minimum specified breaking load has beenapplied and be as near 10 in. (250 mm) as practicable, and thefinal length shall be the distance between
47、the jaws at the timeof rupture. The fracture shall be between gage marks in thecase of specimens so marked or between the jaws of the testingmachine and not closer than 1 in. (25 mm) to either gage markor either jaw.NOTE 6It is known that the rate of loading during tension testingaffects the perform
48、ance of the sample to a greater or lesser extentdepending upon many factors. In general, tested values of tensile strengthare increased and tested values of elongation are reduced with increase ofspeed of the moving head of the testing machine. In the case of tests onsoft or annealed wire, however,
49、the effects of speed of testing are notpronounced. Tests of soft wire made at speeds of moving head whichunder no-load conditions are not greater than 12 in./min (300 mm/min) donot alter the final results of tensile strength and elongation determinationsto any practical extent. In the case of hard-drawn wire, these effects arepronounced when the speed of the moving head is excessive. It issuggested that tests be made at speeds of moving head which, underno-load conditions, are not greater than 3 in./min (76 mm/min), but in nocase at a speed greater
