Title
Standard Specification for Free-Machining Stainless Steel Wire and Wire Rods
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 10, 1995
Scope:
This specification covers cold-finished wire and hot-finished wire
rods in coils. Wire rods are a
semi-finished product primarily for the manufacture of wire. Wire
includes rounds, squares,
hexagons, and special shapes in the more commonly used types of
stainless free-machining steels
designed especially for optimum machinability and for general
corrosion and high-temperature
service.
NOTE 1 - For wire other than those of the free-machining types, see
Specification A 580/A 580M.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI (metric) units are
to be regarded separately as
standards; within the text and tables, the SI units are shown in
[brackets]. The values stated in
each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be
used independently of the
other. Combining values from the two systems may result in
nonconformance with the specification.
Unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification
designation, the material shall be
furnished to the inch-pound units.
