Abstract
This specification deals with the general requirements for alloy steel rods and uncoated coarse round alloy wire in coils that are not required to meet hardenability band limits. Heat and product analyses shall be used to verify that the required percentage of chemical compositions for carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, vanadium, titanium, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, copper, tungsten, aluminum, and lead are within the specified limit. Required grain sizes shall be determined and specified as annealed, spheroidize annealed, or patented. Tensile strength for annealed alloy rod and wires shall be evaluated using a tensile tests.
