Scope*1.1 This specification covers round and shaped chromium-silicon alloy steel spring wire having properties and qualityintended for the manufac

3、ture of springs resistant to set whenused at moderately elevated temperatures. This product is notmeant to be used for non-static applications involving moder-ate fatigue stresses (see Specification A1000/A1000M) or highcycle fatigue applications (see Specification A877/A877M).This wire shall be pro
