Describes the methods for the general testing of steel wire and wire products which have been cold worked, annealed or oil hardened and tempered and/or coated and are of constant cross section, either round, or special section.

This European Standard specifies the methods for the general testing of steel wire and wire products which have been cold worked, annealed or oil hardened and tempered and/or coated and are of constant cross section, either round, or special section. It includes tensile testing, torsion testing, reverse bend testing, wrapping test, bend test, reverse torsion test, compression test, deep etch test, hardness test, quench hardenability test, fatigue test, wire cast measurement, artificial ageing, decarburization test, non-destructive tests, grain size tests, segregation test, non-metallic inclusion test and chemical analysis.
