Abstract

Specifies requirements for cold-drawn, carbon steel wire of round cross-section in diameters 0.20 mm and over, intended for the manufacture of rope and strand. Covers wire in the bright (black) condition, drawn metallic-coated condition (drawn after coating) or finally metallic-coated condition (coated as a final operation). Coatings may be of zinc (hot-dipped or electrodeposited) or of hot-dip zinc/aluminium alloy.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for cold-drawn, carbon steel wire of round cross-section in diameters 0.20 mm and over, intended for the manufacture of rope and strand. The Standard covers wire supplied in the bright (black) condition, drawn metallic coated condition (drawn after coating) or finally metallic coated condition (coated as a final operation).
The metallic coating may be applied by either the hot-dip process or an electrolytic (electrodeposition) process.
NOTES:
1 A supplementary non-metallic coating may be applied to the metallic coating by agreement between manufacturer and purchaser.
2 Advice and recommendations on information to be supplied by the purchaser at the time of enquiry and/or order are contained in Appendix A.
3 Means for demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix B.
This Standard does not cover wires removed from manufactured ropes, or stranded tendons for prestressed concrete (refer to AS 1311).
