SCHEDULES FOR WROUGHT STEELS
PART 2 CARBON STEELS { UNALLOYED STEELS )

Section 2 Carbon Steel Wires with Related Properties

( First Revision )

0. FORE WORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 2/Sec 2 ) ( First Revision ). was
adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 25 June 1987, after the
draft finalized by the Alloy Steels and Special Steels Sectional Committee
had been approved by the Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 Schedules for wrought steels for general engineering purposes ( IS :
1570) was first published in !961. On the basis of the experience gained
in the production and use of steels, the Sectional Committee has decided
to revise the standard and issue it in parts . The other parts of the
standard are as follows:
Part 1 Steels specified by tensile and/or yield properties.
Part 2 Carbon steels ( una1loyed steels ), Section I Wrought products
( other than wires ) with specified chemical composition and
related properties.
Part 3 Carbon and carbon manganese free cutting steels.
Part 4 AHoy steels ( alloy constructional and spring steels ) with
specified chemical. composition and related mechanical
properties ( under revision ).
Part 5 Stainless and heat resisting steels.
Part 6 Alloy tool steels ( under revision ).
Part 7 Steels for elevated temperature services ( creep resisting
steels ) ( under revision ).
0.3 The following major modifications have been made in this revision:
a) Tensile strength values are given in MPa instead of kg(mm 2 .
b) The detaile:l mechanical properties of different types of wires
for various end use-) have been included.

 IS 4 1570 ( Part 2JSec 2 ) - 1987

1. SCOPE
1.1 This schedule ( Part 2JSec 2 ) is applicable to wire produced from
carbon steels for a wide variety of purposes.

2. GENERAL
2.1 In many cases, the necessary properties are produced in the w,ire by
cold drawing rod or wire, after appropriate heat treatment, from a
predetermined size to the required diameter. As the tensile strength
thus attained is a function of both the initial and final diameters, by
selection of a steel of suitable composition, appropriate preliminary
heat treatment, for examp1e, annealing or patenting; and appropriate
initial diameter; a wide variety of tensile strengths may be obtained.
The very high tensile strength can, however, only be attained in the
smaller sizes owing to the large amount of cold drawing required.
In many cases, it is sufficient to specify the tensile properties
without specifying a chemical composition, other than the maximum
permissible limits of sulphur and phosphorus, but when detailed
chemical composition is considered necessary, these may be selected
from steels in Part 2, Sec 1 in relation to the diameter of the wire and
the tensile strength level required.
T.able 1 specifies the tensile strength limits for mild steel wire while
Tables 2 to l3 refer to drawn wire for wood screws, rivets, spokes and
nipples, bead wire for -tyres, staple pins, needles, umbrella ribs, split
pins, reeds and steel wire for aluminium conductors. The specified
tensile properties for hard drawn wire for ropes, upholstery springs,
telegraph and telephone wires, cold formed springs, valve springs, etc,
are covered in Tables 14 to 18. The hard drawn wires for prestressed
concrete and concrete reinforcement are covered in Tables 19-22.
Any tests, additional to the tensile test, for example, torsion test,
wrapping rest, etc, should be specified in the standard as appropriate.
