EN 10270-1:2011 (E) 6 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 patented cold drawn wire wire drawn to size by cold deformation of a starting material that has been subjected to a thermal treatment of patenting (see EN 10052), giving structure suitable for subsequent rolling or drawing 4 Classification The grade of spring wire used depends on the stress level and the nature of the duty. Where springs are subjected to static stresses or infrequent dynamic loading a wire grade for static duty (S) shall be used. In the other cases with frequent or predominantly dynamic loading and where small coiling ratios or severe bending radius is required, a wire grade for dynamic duty (D) shall be used. Depending on the stress level, spring wire is manufactured in 3 tensile strength grades: Low, medium and high. Table 1 gives an overview of the different grades. Table 1 — Spring wire grades Tensile strength a Static Dynamic Low tensile strength SL — Medium tensile strength SM DM High tensile strength SH DH a
For specific applications another tensile strength may be agreed.

For individual sizes the carbon range is substantially more restricted. b The range of manganese content in the table is wide to cope with various processing situations and the broad size range. The actual figures per size shall be more restricted. c For the manganese content, a different range from the one indicated in the table may be agreed at the time of ordering, with a maximum not exceeding 1,20 % and with a minimum range of 0,20 %.
The addition of micro-alloying elements may be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. NOTE Some diameter ranges require particular attention for residuals. Therefore no figures are mentioned for chromium, nickel, molybdenum, tin, etc., leaving room for special arrangements between Purchaser and Supplier, dependent on their mutual processing conditions. This is also the case for the aluminium content. 6.2 Form of delivery The wire shall be delivered in unit packages of a coil (singles, carriers or formers), spools, spoolless cores or as straight lengths. Unless otherwise agreed at the time of ordering, the form of delivery will be coils; straight lengths shall be supplied in bundles. 6.3 Coating and surface finish The spring wire may be supplied phosphate coated (ph) either dry drawn or wet drawn, copper coated (cu), zinc (Z) or zinc/aluminium (ZA) coated. Other coatings, considered as special, can be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier (see Annex A). SIST EN 10270-1:2012
EN 10270-1:2011 (E) 8 If no specific surface finish is specified, the type of finish shall be at the manufacturer’s discretion. In addition the wire can be ordered with an oiled surface for all surface finishes. 6.4 Mechanical properties For the tensile strength (Rm) and reduction in area after fracture (Z) the wire grades shall satisfy the values listed in Table 3. Reduction of area shall be measured only for wire diameter 0,80 mm and above. The range of tensile strength values within a unit package shall not exceed the values of Table 4.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
patented cold drawn wire
wire drawn to size by cold deformation of a starting material that has been subjected to a thermal treatment of
patenting (see EN 10052), giving structure suitable for subsequent rolling or drawing
4 Classification and designation
4.1 Classification
The grade of spring wire used depends on the stress level and the nature of the duty. Where springs are
subjected to static stresses or infrequent dynamic loading a wire grade for static duty (S) shall be used. In the
other cases with frequent or predominantly dynamic loading and where small coiling ratios or severe bending
radius is required, a wire grade for dynamic duty (D) shall be used. Depending on the stress level, spring wire
is manufactured in 3 tensile strength grades: Low, medium and high.
Table 1 gives an overview of the different grades.

a
Such a wide range is stipulated to accommodate the whole range of sizes. For individual sizes the carbon range is
substantially more restricted.
b
The range of manganese content in the table is wide to cope with various processing situations and the broad size range.
The actual figures per size shall be more restricted.
c
For the manganese content, a different range from the one indicated in the table may be agreed at the time of ordering, with
a maximum not exceeding 1,20 % and with an amplitude of 0,20 %.
The addition of micro-alloying elements may be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
NOTE Some diameter ranges require particular attention for residuals. Therefore no figures are mentioned for
chromium, nickel, molybdenum, tin, etc. leaving room for special arrangements between purchaser and supplier,
dependent on their mutual processing conditions. This is also the case for the aluminium content.
6.2 Form of delivery
The wire shall be delivered in unit packages of a coil, individualized or on carriers, or a spool or spoolless core
or as straight lengths.
Unless otherwise agreed at the time of ordering, the form of delivery will be coils; straight lengths shall be
supplied in bundles.
6.3 Coating and surface finish
The spring wire may be supplied phosphate coated (ph) either dry drawn or wet drawn, copper coated (cu),
zinc (Z) or zinc/aluminium (ZA) coated.
Other coatings, considered as special, can be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier (see annex A).
If no specific surface finish is specified, the type of finish shall be at the manufacturer’s discretion.
In addition the wire can be ordered with an oiled surface for all surface finishes.
6.4 Mechanical properties
For the tensile strength (R ) and reduction in area after fracture (Z) the wire grades shall satisfy the values
m
listed in Table 3. Reduction of area shall be measured only for wire diameter 0,80 mm and above.
The range of tensile strength values within a unit package shall not exceed the values of Table 4.

a
For intermediate values of wire diameter, the values specified for the next higher diameter shall apply (for tensile strength see c).
b
Wire with a size above 20 mm diameter is used. Where such wire is specified the parties shall agree upon the properties and requirements at the time of enquiry and order.
c
For sizes not mentioned the required strength shall be derived from the mathematical formulae given in A.4.

For straightened and cut lengths the tensile strength values may be up to 10 % lower, torsion values are also lowered by the straightening and cutting operation.

1 MPa = 1 N/mm .
f
For diameters 0,05 mm to 0,18 mm, a restricted tensile strength range of 300 MPa within the specified range may be agreed.

Because of the small wire diameter, measurement of the depth of defects or depth of decarburization can only be carried out with difficulty. For this reason, no maximum value is specified for
this diameter range.

Table 4 — Permissible tensile strength range within a single unit package in MPa
Diameter range (mm) SL, SM, SH DM, DH
d < 0,80 150 150
0,80 ≤ d < 1,60 120 100
1,60 ≤ d 120 70
The requirements apply to unit packages the mass of which in kilograms does not exceed the value of 250 x d
(d = wire diameter in mm) or a maximum value of 1 000 kg.
In cases of coils of greater mass, appropriate agreements shall be made.
6.5 Technological properties
6.5.1 Coiling test
In order to assess the uniformity of the wire in the coiling deformation and its surface condition, the coiling test
shall be carried out on wire with a diameter up to 0,70 mm for the grades DM, SH and DH.
In the test as described further in 7.4.3 the test piece shall exhibit a defect-free surface without splits or
fracture, a uniform pitch of the turns after coiling and a fair dimensional regularity of its diameter.
NOTE Although the usefulness of the coiling test is not generally recognized, it has been retained since it offers the
possibility of revealing internal stresses. If doubtful test results are obtained the wire concerned should not be rejected
immediately but efforts should be made by the parties concerned to elucidate the cause.
6.5.2 Torsion test
For assessing the deformability, fracture behaviour and surface condition the torsion test shall be carried out
for all wire grades on wires in the nominal diameter range over 0,70 mm to 10 mm. The minimum number of
turns specified in Table 3 for diameters up to 7,00 mm is mandatory. For wires exceeding this size they shall
be taken only as indicative values.
In executing the test according to 7.4.5 the required number of turns shall be achieved before the test piece
fractures. The fracture of the torsion test piece shall be perpendicular to the wire axis (see EN 10218-1 -
Types 1a, 2a or 3a).
Spring back resilience cracks or spring back fractures (“spoon” or “secondary” fractures) are not considered in
the evaluation. In each case a uniform distortion of both fragments shall be present although the pitch of the
turns need not be the same in the two parts. In the case of grade DH no surface cracks visible to the naked
eye shall be present after the torsion test (only type “1a” fracture is acceptable).
6.5.3 Wrapping test
The wrapping test may be applied (see 7.4.4) to wire with a diameter equal or less than 3,00 mm. The wire
shall not show sign of fracture when close wrapped eight turns around a mandrel of a diameter equal to that of
the wire.
6.5.4 Bend test
Where requested the bend test may be applied to wire with a diameter greater than 3,00 mm. The wire shall
withstand the test without any sign of failure.
NOTE In some applications the material is severely deformed by bending. Such is the case for extension springs with
tight hooks, springs with bend on legs, spring wire forms, etc. In such cases the bend test provides for a wire test very
close to the actual use.

6.6 Supply conditions of wire on coils/reels and spools
6.6.1 General
The wire of a unit package shall consist of one single length of wire originating from only one heat. For grades
DM and DH only the welds prior to the last patenting operation are allowed; all other welds shall be removed,
or - if so agreed upon - properly marked.
For the wire grades SL/SM/SH welds are allowed at the size of the last patenting treatment. For other welds,
the treatment of the welds shall be subject to an arrangement between the parties involved, depending on
wire diameter and application.
6.6.2 Coil size
The coil internal diameter of coils shall at least satisfy the values given in Table 5, unless otherwise agreed.
Table 5 — Wire diameter and associated minimum coil internal diameter
a
Wire diameter (mm) Minimum internal diameter (mm)
100
0,25 ≤ d < 0,28
150
0,28 ≤ d < 0,50
0,50 ≤ d < 0,70 180
0,70 ≤ d < 1,60 250
1,60 ≤ d < 4,50 400
4,50 ≤ d 500
a
For wire diameter below 0,25 mm specific agreements shall be made between the parties.
6.6.3 Cast of wire
The wire shall be uniformly cast. Unless otherwise specified the wap diameter of wire supplied in coils/reels
may expand when the binding wires are removed, but should usually not retract to an internal diameter
smaller than the original cast diameter other than by agreement between supplier and purchaser. The
expansion shall be approximately even within a single package and within all the units in a production batch.
6.6.4 Helix cast of wire
The wire shall be dead cast. The requirement shall be considered fulfilled in the case of wire finer than
5,00 mm in diameter if the following condition is satisfied.
An individual wap taken from a coil/reel or bobbin and freely hung on hook may show an axial displacement “f”
at the ends of the wap (see Figure 1); this displacement "f" shall not exceed a value given by the following
equation:
0,2D
f ≤
4
d
where
f is the axial displacement in mm
D is the diameter of a free wap in mm
d is the diameter of the wire in mm
