Abstract
This specification covers carbon steel wire coils for general use. Steel samples shall be hard drawn, annealed in process, or annealed at finish size. The steel shall either be ingot cast or strand cast. The carbon steel shall also undergo tensile tests and shall conform to the required values of tensile strength. Final products shall be marked either by a tag or bar code.
