1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers uncoated and four classes of
round, metallic coated, cold-drawn, carbon steel wire for wire
rope in five strength levels. This specification specifies:
1.1.1 Dimensional tolerances,
1.1.2 Mechanical characteristics,
1.1.3 Chemical composition requirements,
1.1.4 Coating requirements (if applicable), and
1.1.5 Packaging requirements.
1.2 The values stated for metric equivalents are provided for
informational purposes only.

A 1007
5.7.1 The bath metal used in continuous hot-dip Zn-5
Al-MM alloy coating shall meet the chemical composition
limits specified in Specification B 750.

in the respective tables referred to in the following parts of this

specification.
3.1.9 uncoated wirethe surface of a wire furnished with a
residual lube film as a result of cold-drawing said wire.

6. Chemical Composition
6.1 Upon agreement with the purchaser, the wire manufacturer shall apply a steel of suitable chemical composition that
will satisfy the properties of the material ordered.
6.2 A quantitative analysis of each cast or heat shall be
made by the steel producer or his representative to determine
the percentage of the elements specified. The analysis shall be
made from a test sample preferably taken during the pouring of
the cast or heat. The chemical composition thus determined
shall be reported, if required, to the purchaser or his representative.
6.3 An analysis may be made by the purchaser from the
finished wire. The chemical composition thus determined as to
the elements required shall conform to the product analysis
requirements specified in Table 3 of Specification A 510 or as
agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer.

4. Ordering Information

and final-coated Zn5 Al-MM wire is usually furnished in
Levels 1 through 4.
5.6 The method utilized in the production of either drawnor final-galvanized wire types may be by an electro-deposition
or hot-dip galvanizing process at the option of the producer.
5.6.1 The slab zinc used in galvanized zinc coatings shall be
as specified in Specification B 6.
5.7 The method utilized in the production of Zn5 Al-MM
wire types may be either a continuous hot-dip alloy coating or
two step coating where the first coating is zinc followed by a
final bath having an aluminum content up to 7.2 % to prevent
depletion of the aluminum content of the bath.

7. Wire Diameter
7.1 The wire shall be measured using a micrometer with an
minimum accuracy of 0.0001 in. (0.002 mm) for all diameters.
7.2 All diameter values measured in one location along the
wire shall be within the tolerance limits given in Table 1 for
uncoated and drawn-galvanized or drawn-Zn5 Al-MM rope
wire or Table 2 for final-galvanized or final-coated Zn5 Al-MM
rope wire.
8. Tensile Properties
8.1 Tensile Test Procedure:
8.1.1 Standard Testing MethodThe tensile test shall be
carried out in accordance with Test Methods E 8. The distance
between the grips of the testing machine shall not be less than
8 in. (203 mm). The speed of the movable head of the testing
machine, under no load, shall not exceed 1 in./min (0.4 mm/s).
Any specimen breaking within 1 in. (25.4 mm) of the jaws may
be disregarded and a retest performed.
8.1.2 Alternate Testing MethodThe tensile test shall be
carried out in accordance with Test Methods E 8. The loading
rate may be greater than that specified, depending on the
number of tests to be carried out for the batch inspection.
However, it shall not exceed the rate corresponding to a 25 %
elongation between anchorages in 1 min. The minimum
distance between the clamping jaws of the test machine is 4 in.
(100 mm). In the event of a dispute, the tensile test shall be
carried out strictly in accordance with Test Methods E 8, in
particular with regard to the loading rate.
8.1.3 The minimum breaking forces are specified in Table 3

between the jaws of the testing machine is different than 8 in.

9. Torsional Properties
9.1 Torsion TestThe torsion test shall be conducted in
accordance with Test Method A 938 with the following modifications. The standard distance between the jaws of the testing
machine is 8 6 116 in. (203 6 1 mm). In order to save time
during tests, the distance between the jaws of the testing
machine may be shortened to as small as 100 wire diameters
(less than 8 in. (203 mm)). One end of the wire is to be rotated
with respect to the other end at a uniform speed, not to exceed
sixty 360 (6.28 rad) revolutions per minute, until breakage
occurs. The machine must be equipped with an automatic

12. Workmanship, Finish and Appearance

12.1 The surface of the wire shall be free from rust and
excessive scale. The wire surface shall be smooth and free from
detrimental discontinuities such as seams, pits, and die marks.
12.2 Each coil or spool of wire shall be one continuous
length properly coiled and firmly tied.

10. Wrap Testing

10.1 All metallic coated wire produced to this specification
must meet a wrap test as a measure of steel ductility. The
wrapping may be done by any hand or power device that will
coil the wire in a closely wound helix about a mandrel equal to
twice the nominal diameter of the material being tested for six
complete turns without wire fracture.
10.2 All metallic coated wire produced to this specification
must meet a wrap test as a measure of coating adherence. The
wrapping may be done by any hand or power device that will

13. Sampling
13.1 Material testing shall be carried out by the supplier in
accordance with a method approved by the purchaser. The
number of test specimens taken from the end of a given
package vary with the quality control procedures and the
facilities of each manufacturer, but is generally not less than
10 % of the coils produced.
13.2 The purchaser may elect to have incoming acceptance
testing performed. To ensure representative sampling, the
samples shall be taken at random from the coil or spool ends.
