Designation:A90504(Reapproved 2010)Standard Specification forSteel Wire,Pressure Vessel Winding1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A905;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers requirements for a highstrength drawn and cold rolled steel wire in two strengthclasses,with rectangular cross section,and round mill edge.This wire is intended for prestressed vessel and press framewindings.1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI(metric)units are to be regarded separately as standards.Within the text and tables,the SI units are shown in parenthe-ses.The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents.Therefore,each system must be used independent of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in noncon-formance with the specification.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA510 Specification for General Requirements for Wire Rodsand Coarse Round Wire,Carbon SteelA510M Specification for General Requirements for WireRods and Coarse Round Wire,Carbon Steel(Metric)A700 Practices for Packaging,Marking,and Loading Meth-ods for Steel Products for ShipmentE30 Test Methods for ChemicalAnalysis of Steel,Cast Iron,Open-Hearth Iron,and Wrought Iron(Withdrawn 1995)3E309 Practice for Eddy-Current Examination of Steel Tubu-lar Products Using Magnetic Saturation2.2 Military Standard:MIL-STD-163 Steel Mill Products,Preparation for Ship-ment and Storage42.3 Federal Standard:Fed.Std.No.123 Marking for Shipment(Civil Agencies)62.4 AIAG Standard:AIAGB-5 02.00 Primary Metals Identification Tag Applica-tion Standard53.Ordering Information3.1 It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to specifyall requirements that are necessary for material under thisspecification.Such requirements may include,but are notlimited to,the following:3.1.1 Quantity(mass),3.1.2 Name of material,3.1.3 Dimensions(see Section 7),3.1.4 Finish(see Section 8),3.1.5 Packaging(see Section 11),3.1.6 Cast or heat analysis report(see Section 5),3.1.7 Number of certification or test reports required(seeSection 10),3.1.8 ASTM designation and year of issue,and3.1.9 Supplementary requirements,if any.4.Material and Manufacture4.1 The steel shall be produced by any of the followingprimary processes:(1)basic oxygen,and(2)electric furnace orvacuum induction(VIM).The primary melting may incorpo-rate separate degassing or refining and may be followed bysecondary melting by the electrode slag process(ESR)or thevacuum arc remelting process(VAR).4.1.1 The steel may be ingot cast or continuously cast.4.2 The finished wire shall be free from detrimental pipeand undue segregation.4.3 The wire shall be cold drawn or cold rolled,or both,toproduce the desired mechanical properties and dimensionsafter subjecting it to the patenting treatment.4.4 The width to thickness ratio of the wire cross sectionshall not exceed 8.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.03 on Steel Rod and Wire.Current edition approved April 1,2010.Published April 2010.Originallyapproved in 1991.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as A905 04.DOI:10.1520/A0905-04R10.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,DODSSP,Bldg.4,Section D,700 Robbins Ave.,Philadelphia,PA 19111-50985Available from Automotive Industry Action Group(AIAG),26200 Lahser Rd.,Suite 200,Southfield,MI 48034.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1Copyright by ASTM Intl(all rights reserved);5.Chemical Composition5.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements for chemicalcomposition prescribed in Table 1.5.2 Heat AnalysisEach heat of steel shall be analyzed bythe manufacturer to determine the percentage of elementsprescribed in Table 1.This analysis shall be made from a testspecimen preferably taken during the pouring of the heat.When requested,this shall be reported to the purchaser andshall conform to the requirements of Table 1.5.3 Product AnalysisAn analysis may be made by thepurchaser from finished wire representing each heat of steel.The chemical composition thus determined,as to elementsrequired or restricted,shall conform to the product analysisrequirement
