Introduction
The Atlas Wire & Bar Mill
The Atlas Wire and Bar mill was opened in 1962 and since then has played an important role in the Australian and New Zealand manufacturing industry as a supplier of specialty metal wire and bar product. Today the mill remains as the only commercial operated mill of its type in this region of the world.
Rod, wire & bar

The denitions for rod, wire and bar are universally agreed, but in general can be described as follows: Rod is the hot rolled feed produced in coil and purchased by the down stream drawers, such as the Atlas Wire and Bar Mill. This product is then cold drawn down to wire or bar with diameters, properties and nishes suitable for further processing in industrial applications. Wire is typically supplied as coil and bar is supplied as straightened and cut lengths.
Atlas Wire & Bar facilities & processes

The Atlas Wire and Bar Mill draws down coiled stainless and high-speed steel wire rod until the wire or bar diameter meets the customers required diameter, mechanical properties and nish. The minimum diameter of wire rod supplied to Atlas is 5.5mm and the Atlas Wire and Bar Mill is capable of drawing wire and bar down to diameters between 1mm and 16mm. An overview of the Atlas Wire and Bar Mill processing line is shown in the diagram below:
Inorganic salt coating bath Wire rod Multi die wire drawing
Introduction
The wire rod is delivered to Atlas bar and wire mill where it is plunged into an inorganic salt coating bath and then baked in preparation for the drawing process. Once the coated wire rod has dried, it is fed through a series of multihole and some single-hole wire drawing machines, which reduce the wire rod to the required diameter. Strand annealing Furnace Quenching and coating
The wire can also be heat treated (annealed) to soften it, making it more malleable. The wire is fed through a furnace, where it is heated, quenched in water and coated. It may then be drawn again to the exact diameter required by the customer.
Stainless steel wire and bar

Wire & bar products
Wire and bar is produced to meet the demands of many industries, in the following broad categories:- Weaving wire for manufacture of woven and welded screens and belts. - Forming wire for a vast array of clips, handles, frames, rings and brackets, in strengths from annealed through intermediate tempers to full hard. - Cold heading wire for production of corrosion resistant fasteners including roong screws, self tapping screws, bolts, set screws, nails, rivets and staples. - Spring temper wire - a very high strength wire used in production of corrosion resistant coiled springs. - Special Products such as attened wire, can be produced to customer requirements. - Bar in standard bright drawn and polished condition in standard or special diameters. High strength bar or other cut length products with special technical requirements can also be produced.
Grades available
Stainless steel wire and bar is available in standard grades 302HQ, 303, 304, 316, 316L, 416 and 430, and a range of other grades specic to particular industries as required. (See the Application Table on page 18). Special grades can be sourced for new applications.

Cold heading wire

The usual grades produced are 302HQ and 316. A much lesser quantity of 430 is produced for heading applications. All of these grades are suitable to produce the full range of headed fasteners including cross recess pan-heads and cross recess counter-sunk heads. Type 304 is used in some applications where the degree of cold forming is not as severe or where a higher strength fastener is required, such as some nails and self drilling screws. Heading wire is normally supplied with a nal light skin pass draw, although that destined for very severe cold heading operations can be annealed at nal size - this is the softest possible condition. The most popular coating is Atlas Supercoat, which is a mixture of an inorganic salt carrier coating into which the wire is dipped, plus some residual drawing soap. This coating is subject to damage by handling and by the environment, particularly by water. If well looked after, its life expectancy is in excess of six months and is usually well over a year. Some simple heading jobs such as nails and hinge pins do not require supercoat; normal Cold Drawn or Bright Drawn nishes are acceptable.

Spring wire
Spring wire
Types 304 and 316 are the two most common grades used for spring wire. The spring coating is usually left on the wire to assist spring making; this is the same coating as supercoat left on heading wire. Imported spring wire may alternatively be either nickel plated or resin coated (a very thin transparent coating of PVC). Coated wire is essential for spring coiling. Very tightly wound springs, particularly of large diameter wire, tend to be most demanding of coatings. Atlas use special versions of Types 304 and 316 for spring wire. These have carefully controlled analysis ranges to ensure the required tensile strength values are obtained. Spring temper wire has the highest tensile strength of any of the stainless steel wires; the standard strength is in conformance with ASTM A313M, as listed later in this section, but wire can be supplied to conform with other specications, such as JIS G4314, if required.

Coating
Standard coating is Atlas Spring Coat, to assist in spring forming. By special arrangement wire may be supplied bare to assist with soldering. Spring coat can if necessary be removed by immersion in hot alkaline detergent.
Straightened and cut lengths

Spring temper wire in the diameter 1.6mm to 10mm can be supplied as straightened and cut bar lengths, with tensile strength specications of 90% of the values in the previous table.
Stress relief
Stress relief of nished springs in the temperature range of approximately 200400C can improve their elastic properties. Higher temperatures will result in permanent softening and (above 450C) carbide precipitation. These temperatures must be avoided.
Special requirements
Atlas Specialty Metals Technical Department should be consulted with regard to any special requirements in respect of application or specication, by telephoning Free-Call 1800 818 599.
13
Weaving wire
Types 304 and 316 and some 430 are used in a variety of tensile strengths, diameters and coatings for weaving. These wires nd many applications in mining and processing screens and mesh link belts for mineral processing, heat treatment and in the food industry. Specic tensile strengths can be produced to customers requirements; about 1/4 Hard or 1/2 Hard wire is usually produced (usually 900-1100 MPa or 1000-1200 MPa). Cast and helix may also be specied for some applications. A range of standard weaving wires is available ex-stock.

General information
Wire cast & helix
The cast and helix are important features of the nished wire and dene how well it is killed (not to be confused with killed carbon or low alloy steel, where killing refers to the deoxidation practice used in melting the steel). These properties are observed by cutting a single lap from the nal coil and laying it on a at surface. The cast is the natural loop diameter which this free lap takes up; the helix is the difference in height between its two cut ends i.e. how much of a rise is present. Zero helix is if the lap lies perfectly at. The ideal is a cast equal to the coil diameter and nil helix. Particular requirements for cast and helix should be discussed at time of order.

Removal of coatings
Spring coat/supercoat Lime Passivation The natural invisible protective lm which forms on the surface of stainless steels can be protected and all traces of iron contamination removed by subjecting these alloys to strong oxidising chemicals such as nitric acid. All of the 300 series grades and the 400 series grades containing 16% or more chromium (except free machining grades such as 303) may be satisfactorily passivated in a 20-50% by volume solution of nitric acid at temperatures ranging from 50-70C for periods from 10-30 minutes. Care must be taken when passivating the straight chromium grades containing 12-14% chromium (e.g. Type 410). A solution containing 20-50% nitric acid should be used. The temperature range should be between 40 and 55C. Full details of pickling and passivation procedures can be found in ASTM A380, in the Technical Handbook or at the Atlas Speciality Metals website. Immerse in hot alkaline detergent followed by rinsing. Short immersion in 20-40% nitric acid followed by washing in hot water.

Where a minimum quantity is required the order quantity should be increased accordingly. NOTE 2: Orders for special and non-standard bar must be specied by weight; orders for a specic number of bar lengths cannot be accepted. Specic numbers of standard bars can be supplied if ex-stock only. 2. Grade of steel 3. Condition 4. Coatings 5. Diameter 6. Form 7. Special requirements 8. Packing/ tagging 9. End-use Specify grade or give the chemical analysis if a special alloy. e.g. Cold drawn (CD) Specify the surface nish or coating. Specify in mm, and specify the tolerance if non-standard. e.g. Bar or wire in coil. e.g. Tensile strength (Tolerance 100 MPa), test certication, customer specication. Specify any special instructions e.g. coil weights, supply on stems, information to be written on tags. Specify the end use e.g. cold heading, machining, spring manufacture, weaving etc. Example: A typical ordering description is: 2000 kgs stainless steel Type 302HQ, cold heading quality, supercoated and annealed at nal size, wire in coil 3.83 mm diameter, end-use cold headed fasteners. The Technical Department is available to assist you in specifying the technical requirements for your product.
