Designation:A580/A580M16Standard Specification forStainless Steel Wire1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A580/A580M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers stainless steel wire,except thefree-machining types.It includes round,square,octagon,hexagon,and shape wire in coils only for the more commonlyused types of stainless steels for general corrosion resistanceand high-temperature service.For bars in straightened and cutlengths,see Specifications A276 or A479/A479M.NOTE1For free-machining stainless wire,designed especially foroptimum machinability,see Specification A581/A581M.1.2 Unless the order specifies the applicable“M”specifica-tion designation,the material shall be furnished to the inch-pound units.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A276 Specification for Stainless Steel Bars and ShapesA370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA479/A479M Specification for Stainless Steel Bars andShapes for Use in Boilers and Other Pressure VesselsA555/A555M Specification for General Requirements forStainless Steel Wire and Wire RodsA581/A581M Specification for Free-Machining StainlessSteel Wire and Wire RodsE527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys in theUnified Numbering System(UNS)2.2 Society of Automotive Engineers Standard:3J 1086 Numbering Metals and Alloys3.Ordering Information3.1 It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify allrequirements that are necessary for material ordered under thisspecification.Such requirements may include,but are notlimited to,the following:3.1.1 Quantity(weight),3.1.2 Name of material(stainless steel),3.1.3 Type or UNS designation(Table 1),3.1.4 Condition(4.1),3.1.5 Finish(4.2),3.1.6 Cross section(round,square,and so forth),3.1.7 Applicable dimensions including size,thickness,andwidth,3.1.8 ASTM designation A580/A580M and date of issue,3.1.9 Coil diameter(inside or outside diameter,or both)andcoil weight,and3.1.10 Special requirements.NOTE2Atypical ordering description is as follows:5000 lb 2000 kgType 304,wire,annealed and cold drawn,12in.13 mm round,ASTMSpecification A580/A 580M dated.End use:machined hydrauliccoupling parts.4.Manufacture4.1 Condition(Table 2):4.1.1 Condition AAnnealed as a final heat treatment.Material in Condition A may be given a final cold drawing forsize control or finish,or both,slightly raising tensile strength.4.1.2 Condition BCold worked to higher strength.4.1.3 Condition THeat treated to an intermediate tempergenerally by austenitizing,quenching,and tempering at arelatively low temperature.4.1.4 Condition HHeat treated to a hard temper generallyby austenitizing,quenching,and tempering at a relatively lowtemperature.4.2 Finish:1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.17 on Flat-Rolled and Wrought Stainless Steel.Current edition approved Sept.1,2016.Published September 2016.Originallyapproved in 1967.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as A580/A580M 15.DOI:10.1520/A0580_A0580M-16.2For 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.3Available from Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE),400 CommonwealthDr.,Warrendale,PA 15096-0001,http:/www.sae.org.*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 States1 TABLE 1 Chemical RequirementsAUNSDesig-nationBTypeComposition,%CarbonManga-nesePhosphorusSulfurSiliconChromiumNickelMolybdenumNitrogenOther ElementsAustenitic GradesN08926.0.0202.000.0300.0100.5019.021.0 24.026.06.07.00.150.25Cu 0.501.50N08367.0.0302.000.0400.0301.0020.022.0 23.525.56.07.00.180.25Cu 0.75 maxN08700.0.0402.000.0400.0301.0019.023.0 24.026.04.35.0.Cu 0.50 maxCb 8xC-0.40S20161.0.154.06.00.0400.0403.04.015.018.04.06.0.0.080.20.S20910XM-190.064.06.00.0400.0301.0020.523.5 11.513.51.503.000.200.40Cb 0.100.30V 0.100.30S21400XM-310.1214.016.00.0450.0300.301.00 17.018.51.00.0.35.S21800.0.107.09.00.0600.0303.54.516.018.08.09.0.0.080.18.S21900XM-100.088.010.00.0600.0301.0019.021.55.57.5.0.150.40.S21904
