1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers general requirements for carbon steel wire rods and uncoated coarse round wire in coils or
straightened and cut lengths.
1.2 In case of conflict, the requirements in the purchase
order, on the drawing, in the individual specification, and in
this general specification shall prevail in the sequence named.
3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.1.1 carbon steelsteel in which no minimum content is
specified or required for aluminum, chromium, cobalt, columbium, molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, or
zirconium, or any other element added to obtain a desired
alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does
not exceed 0.40 %; or when the maximum content specified for
any of the following elements does not exceed these percentages: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, or copper 0.60.
3.1.2 DiscussionIn all carbon steels small quantities of
certain residual elements unavoidably retained from raw materials are sometimes found that are not specified or required,
such as copper, nickel, molybdenum, chromium, etc. These
elements are considered as incidental and are not formally
determined or reported.
Elements may be specified to improve machinability of
carbon steels such as sulfur and lead.
3.1.4 coarse round wirefrom 0.035 to 0.999 in. in diameter, inclusive, wire that is produced from hot-rolled wire rods
or hot-rolled coiled bars by one or more cold reductions
primarily for the purpose of obtaining a desired size with
dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical properties. By varying the amount of cold reduction and other wire
mill practices, including thermal treatment, a wide diversity of
mechanical properties and finishes are made available.
3.1.5 DiscussionCoarse round wire is designated by Steel
Wire Gage numbers, common fractions, or decimal parts of an
inch. The Steel Wire Gage system is shown in Table 1. Since
the many gage systems in use may cause confusion, the
purchaser is encouraged to specify wire diameters in inches or
decimal parts, or both.

TABLE 3 Nonresulfurized Carbon Steel Cast or Heat Chemical Ranges and Limits
NOTE 1SiliconWhen silicon is required the following ranges and limits are commonly used for nonresulfurized carbon steels: 0.10 max, %, 0.07
to 0.15 %, 0.10 to 0.20 %, 0.15 to 0.35 %, 0.20 to 0.40 %, or 0.30 to 0.60 %.
NOTE 2CopperWhen required, copper is specified as an added element.
NOTE 3LeadWhen lead is required as an added element, a range from 0.15 to 0.35 % is specified. Such a steel is identified by inserting the letter
L between the second and third numerals of the grade number, for example, 10L18.
NOTE 4Boron Addition to Improve HardenabilityStandard killed carbon steels, which are fine grain, may be produced with a boron addition to
improve hardenability and typically contain an intentional addition of .01 % minimum titanium. Such steels are produced to a range of 0.0005 to 0.003 %
boron. These steels are identified by inserting the letter B between the second and third numerals of the grade number, for example, 10B46. The UNS
designation is also modified by changing the last digit to 1 to indicate boron, for example, G 1046.1.
NOTE 5Boron Additions to Control Strain-Ageing BehaviorIntentional additions of Boron to low carbon steels for the purpose of controlling
strain-ageing behavior during wire drawing is permissible only with the agreement of the purchaser. In such cases, the Boron content shall be reported
in either a material test report or certification.
NOTE 6For steels that do not have intentional boron additions for hardenability or for control of strain aging behavior, the boron content will not
normally exceed .0008 %.

6.2 Cast or Heat Analysis (Formerly Ladle Analysis)An
analysis of each cast or heat shall be made by the producer to
determine the percentage of the elements specified. The analysis shall be made from a test sample, preferably taken during
the pouring of the cast or heat. The chemical composition thus
determined shall be reported, if required, to the purchaser, or
his representative. Reporting of significant figures and rounding shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and
Terminology A 751.
6.3 Product Analysis (Formerly Check Analysis)A product analysis may be made by the purchaser. The analysis is not
used for a duplicate analysis to confirm a previous result. The
purpose of the product analysis is to verify that the chemical

TABLE 6 Rephosphorized and Resulfurized Carbon Steel Cast or Heat Chemical Ranges and Limits
NOTE 1 It is not common practice to produce the 12XX series of steel to specified limits for silicon. Silicon impairs machinability.
NOTE 2Because of the degree to which phosphorus and sulfur segregate, product analysis for phosphorus and sulfur in the 12XX series steel is not
technologically appropriate unless misapplication is clearly indicated.

composition is within specified limits for each element, including applicable permissible variations in product analysis. The
results of analyses taken from different pieces of a heat may
differ within permissible limits from each other and from the
heat or cast analysis. Table 7 shows the permissible variations
for product analysis of carbon steel. The results of the product
analysis obtained, except lead, shall not vary both above and
below the permissible limits.
6.3.1 Rimmed or capped steels are characterized by a lack
of uniformity in their chemical composition, especially for the
elements carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur, and for this reason
product analysis is not technologically appropriate for these
elements unless misapplication is clearly indicated.
6.3.2 Because of the degree to which phosphorus and sulfur
segregate, product analysis for these elements is not technologically appropriate for rephosphorized or resulfurized steels,
or both, unless misapplication is clearly indicated.
6.3.3 The location at which chips for product analysis are
obtained from the sample is important because of segregation.
For rods and wire, chips are taken by milling or machining the
full cross section of the sample.
6.3.3.1 Steel subjected to certain thermal treatment operations by the purchaser may not give chemical analysis results
7. Metallurgical Structure
7.1 Grain size, when specified, shall be determined in
accordance with the requirements of Test Methods E 112.
7.2 Wire rods of the steel grades listed in Table 3, when
supplied in the as-rolled condition, shall not contain injurious microconstituents such as untempered martensite.
8. Mechanical Requirements
8.1 The properties enumerated in individual specifications
shall be determined in accordance with Test Methods and
Definitions A 370.
8.2 Because of the great variety in the kinds of wire and the
extensive diversity of end uses, a number of formal mechanical
test procedures have been developed. These tests are used as
control tests by producers during the intermediate stages of
wire processing, as well as for final testing of the finished
product, and apply particularly to specification wire and wires
for specified end uses. A number of these tests are further
described in Supplement IV, Round Wire Products, of Test
Methods and Definitions A 370.
8.3 Since the general utility of rods and wire requires
continuity of length, in the case of rods, tests are commonly
made on samples taken from the ends of coils after removing
two to three rings. In the case of wire, tests are commonly
made on samples taken from the ends of coils, thereby not
impairing the usefulness of the whole coil.

Product analysis permissible variations for copper apply only when the amount
of copper is specified or required. Copper bearing steels typically specify 0.20 %
min copper.

Product analysis permissible variations for lead apply only when the amount of
lead is specified or required. A range from 0.15 to 0.35 % lead is normally specified
for leaded steels.
