20、 the composition of the wire. Surface irregularities inherent with a forming process that does not tear the wire surface are acceptable provided the wire conforms to the tolerances of 3.7. 3.4.2 In-process annealing, if required between rolling or drawing operations, shall be performed in a vacuum o

21、r in a protective atmosphere to avoid surface oxidation and adsorption of other extraneous elements.

22、ined are either alloy verified using a method or methods capable of distinguishing the alloy from all other alloys processed within the facility, or the repair is made at the wire processing station.

23、ding equipment. 3.4.4 Drawing compounds, oxides, dirt, oil, and other foreign materials shall be removed by cleaning processes which will neither result in pitting, nor cause gas absorption by the wire or deposition of substances harmful to welding operations. 3.4.5 Surface contaminants or dissolved

24、 gasses picked up during wire processing that can adversely affect the welding characteristics, the operation of the equipment, or the properties of the weld metal, shall be removed. 3.5 Properties Wire shall conform to the following requirements: 3.5.1 Weldability Melted wire shall flow smoothly an

25、d evenly during welding and shall produce acceptable welds. ARP1876 may be used to resolve disputes. 3.5.2 Spooled Wire Shall conform to 3.5.2.1 and 3.5.2.2 and 3.5.2.3. 3.5.2.1 Winding Filler metal in coils and on spools shall be wound so that kinks, waves, sharp bends, overlapping, or wedging are

26、not encountered, leaving the filler metal free to unwind without restriction. The outside end of the electrode (the end where welding is to begin) shall be identified so it can be located readily and shall be fastened to avoid unwinding. The winding shall be level winding.
