2.4 M/S Shri Balaji Tech.
2.5 M/S Shri Mahavir Bright Steel ltd.
Suppliers of steel (for wire drawing) shall use the raw material of the approved steel manufacturers.
Note:- For using steel of any make other than the approved manufacturers, prior permission shall be
taken by the supplier from ROHTAS FASTNERS (P) LTD.
MANUFACTURING:Steel shall be made through Aluminum killed basic electric arc furnace using clean & classified scrap
& ferrous alloys. The raw material shall be totally free from tramp elements which are harmful for
cold forging operations. Secondary refining using idle furnace or vacuum designing might be
necessary to ensure close control over chemistry & cleanliness.
SURFACE COATING:The carbon steel wire rods shall be coated with heavy lubricant absorptive, Iron free chloride,
accelerated Zinc Phosphate coating (16gm/m2) or more with mixed lime soap which additionally
contain Molybdenum disulphide suitable for wire drawing as well as subsequent cold deformation.
As regards coating thickness - It shall be minimum 6 m.
DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES:The wire rods shall be under tolerances as per standard IS:3739:1987 or B.S. 970:1991 part-III:SPECIFIED
TOLERANCE
3 to 25mm
-0.05mm
Above 25mm

MACRO EXAMINATION OR CRACKS & SEAMS (ACID ETCHING):The steel shall be free from harmful surface defects during Visual inspection as per standard
IS:11371:1985, ASTM E 381 & WI/LAB/10. The surface shall be smooth & free from scale, scratch,
dent, pitting, rust, seams, Laps. The permissible level of seam shall not exceed the limits given
below:WIRE SIZE
PERMISSIBLE DEPTH OF SEAM
Up to 8mm

MACROETCH TESTING:It shall be done on wire rods as per standard IS:13015:1991, ASTM E 381 & WI/LAB/11 Method for
macro etch testing to inspect the Raw Material by matching standard photographs:7.1 Centre segregation- C (C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4 & C-5).
7.2 Random condition- R (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 & C-5)
7.3 Sub surface conditions- S (S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4 & S-5)
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:- C1R1S1 to C2R2S2

8.

COLD UPSET TEST:In order to assess the suitability of wire (coil) for cold forging, it shall be subjected to cold upsetting
test as per IS:11169:1984 part-1 or WI/LAB/25. This shall be carried out on representative samples of
length at least 1.5 times DIAMETER of wire, appropriate load shall be used to upset the sample to a
height 66% of the initial height for shown in the article 15.1, 15.2 & 80% of the initial height for
shown the 15.3 & 15.4 item. The upset samples shall be macro etched in Hydrochloric acid (HCL) &
inspected either visually or using magnifying glass.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:-The inspection shall not reveal crack on the barrel surface.

9.

SURFACE DECARBURIZATION TEST:Using the appropriate measuring method IS:6396:2000, IS:11169:1984 & WI/LAB/21 or 22, a
transverse section shall be cut and polished of the wire and shall be examined under microscope to
determine whether decarb appearing in the zone of metal and the depth of the zone with
decarburization.
DECARBURIZATION:-Generally, loss of carbon at the surface of ferrous materials (steel).
9.1 COMPLETE (FULL) DECARBURIZATION:-Decarburization with sufficient carbon loss to
show clearly defined ferrite grains only under Microscopic examination.
A. In surface:-Only ferrite micro structure.
B. In core:-Uniform distribution of pearlite in ferrite matrix.
9.2 PARTIAL DECARBURIZATION:-Decarburization with loss of carbon sufficient to cause a
lighter shade of pearlite & significantly lower hardness observed on surface than the core.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:WIRE SIZE
Up to 0.8mm
8.0 to 14.0mm
14.0 to 20mm
