1.1This specification establishes quality assurance requirements for the physical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for carbon and alloy steel wire, rods, and bars in coils intended for the manufacture of mechanical fasteners which includes: bolts, nuts, rivets, screws, washers, and special parts manufactured cold.

Note 1:The Steel Industry uses the term “quality” to designate characteristics of a material which make it particularly well suited to a specific fabrication and/or application and does not imply “quality” in the usual sense.

1.2Wire size range includes 0.062 to 1.375 in.

1.3Rod size range usually includes ⁷/₃₂in. (0.219) to ⁴⁷/₆₄in. (0.734) and generally offered in ¹/₆₄increments (0.0156).

1.4Bar size range includes ³/₈in. (0.375) to 1¹/₂in. (1.500).

1.5Sizes for wire, rod and bar outside the ranges of paragraphs 1.2 – 1.4 may be ordered by agreement between purchaser and supplier.

1.6Material is furnished in many application variations. The purchaser should advise the supplier regarding the manufacturing process and finished product application as appropriate. Five application variations are:

Cold Heading

Recessed Head

Socket Head

Scrapless Nut

Tubular Rivet

1.6.1Wire is furnished for all five application variations.

1.6.2Rod and bar are furnished to the single application variation; Cold Heading.

1.7This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
