Part {however covers a geater range of nomial diameters for wite grades 8 and D. The tensile strength ‘ales specified in DIN 17 223 Part 1 were proposed for the 150 Standard on patented cold drawn ste! wire for ‘erie, lea being prepares. The discussions i the relevant ISO Subcommittee, TC 17/SC 17, on this ‘Proposal had not taken place atthe time the present Standard was published, The tenilesrongth values Rg specified in this standard can be cleulated trom the following equations: ‘rade wire trom 1,00 to 10,00 mm nominal ameter = lower limit: Ray = 1720 ~ 660 X logd: over limit: Re, = 1970 — 740 X log d; rade B wire from 0,30 t0 20,00 mm nominal diameter: Somer init: Ry = 1980 ~ 740X log = oper limit: Rig = 2220 ~ 820 X lopd: grade C wire for 2,00 to 20,00 mm and {rade D wire from 0,20 020,00 mm nornina diameter: = lover lit: Ray = 2220 ~ 820 X log: upper limit: Ry, = 2470 ~ 900 X log With regard tothe minimum numberof ture in the torsion test specified in table 3, it should be noted that the gauge length hat been edced from a maximum of {500 mm o.9 maxima of 300 rn. ‘The discussions onthe permissible depth of surface defects and skin decarburiation encountered particular International Patent Classification 821 F 35-00 lifcuties, because, onthe one hand, users in some ‘ste ecuired value lw that they could rot be tmessured with normal test fnstruments (xcept meta Togrephicaly) and because, on the other hand, the steal wire manufacturer sad that, ons percentage basi, t ‘wat only posible for them to concede defect depths qual to those permitted fr the wie rod, The wire rod manufactures rated that even with special reatment of ‘the starting product it was not posible in the present at of production tnd text tachnology to exclude the possiblity thet batch of wir suppliad might contain patil quantities that were defective with regard to the Fimiting wale forthe crack depth All participants consiseed the previous specifications Inadequate ceordig to which the stel spring wit, after removal the binding wes, should not spring wb hove the pane of the col. The spring manufacturers $ated that tha equation adopted in this standard forthe ‘xil deplacarnent had een derived from measurement Fesults; on the bari of thei experience, it was applicable for wire up to 5 rm nominal diaater inthe drown cnton but not inthe tempered contin, but in ny tae It war not applieableto subsequently svaightoned wires, Fuad boon found thet wire exhibiting bad aso ‘did nat satity the equation. Since the time had come to ‘eplaca the erm "drawn dead” bya measureablequantity tie sine freedom from corkscrow at san esental Tector In procetsng, t wae desirable to adopt the equation in the standard, Even the wire manufactures conceded that it would be desirable to have detailed specifications although they prefered simplified specications, ‘ipeilly a the equation could not be used fr larger
