Becauseit may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current v

14、ersionof the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States13.1.5 Special package marking, if required, and3.1.6 Place of inspection (see 9.1).4. Material4.1 The

15、 basis material shall consist of copper-clad steel wire conforming to the product description, quality and specificationrequirements of Specification B452.4.2 The tin-coated wire shall consist of the basis wire coated with tin. The tin used for coating shall be commercially pure (Note1). For purpose

16、s of this specification, the tin shall be considered“ commercially pure” if the total of other elements, exclusive ofcopper, does not exceed 1 %. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, chemical analysis of the tin coating or of the tin used forcoating shall not be required under this specification.

17、Adequacy of the tin coating is assured by the continuity of coating andadherence of coating requirements (see 5.4 and 5.5). The quality of the tin-coated wire shall be such that the finished product meetsthe properties and requirements in this specification.NOTE 1It is necessary that the coating of

18、the tin on the wire be continuous. The test in the sodium polysulfide is for the purpose of determiningwhether or not the wire carries a continuous envelope of pure tin. The thickness of the tin coating is necessarily varied. Under the same conditions oftinning, the coating on all sizes of wire, exc

19、epting on fine wire, is approximately the same. The coating on fine wire is in general relatively heavier thanthat on coarse wire. It is not, therefore, correct to apply a larger number of cycles in the test on coarse wire than is applied to fine wire. It is probablethat one cycle of the dip test wo

20、uld be sufficient to discover defects in tinned wire, but in order to make certain that no partially covered spots may escapeattention, provision has been made for two cycles. It has been found that the tin coating on copper wire consists of two parts, an envelope of pure tinon the outside, with an

21、intermediate layer of copper-tin alloy. This tin alloy, as well as the amount of tin present, has an effect on the resistivity of thewire. Since the relative amount of tin coating and alloy is greater on the small wire than it is on the coarser wire, the resistivity of the wire increasesas the size

22、decreases. This also accounts for the decrease in elongation due to tinning soft wire.5. General Requirements5.1 Tensile strength and elongation of the tin-coated wire shall conform to the requirements of Specification B452 for theapplicable size and class of copper-clad steel wire.5.2 ResistivityTh

23、e electrical resistivity at a temperature of 20C shall not exceed the values prescribed in Table 2. See Note2 for calculating electrical resistance.NOTE 2Relationships that may be useful in connection with the values of electrical resistivity prescribed in this specification are shown in Table 3.Res

Thisis equivalent to a resistivity value of 875.20 lb/mile 2, which signifies the resistance of a copper wire 1 mile in length weighing 1 lb. It is also equivalent,for example, to 1.7241 /cm of length of a copper bar 1 cm2

(0.003 mm) (Note 3). For diameters under 0.0100 in. (0.254 mm

31、), the wire shall not vary fromthe specified diameter by more than plus 0.0003 in. (0.008 mm) and minus 0.0001 in. (0.003 mm) and for diameters of 0.0100 in.(0.254 mm) and over, the wire shall not vary from the specified diameter by more than plus 3 % and minus 1 %, expressed to thenearest 0.0001 in

32、. (0.003 mm).NOTE 3The values of the wire diameters in Table 1 are given to the nearest 0.0001 in. (0.003 mm) and correspond to the standard sizes given inSpecification B258. The use of gage numbers to specify wire sizes is not recognized in this specification because of the possibility of confusion

33、. Anexcellent discussion of wire gages and related subjects is contained in “Copper Wire Tables” NBS Handbook 100.5.4 Continuity of CoatingThe tin coating shall be continuous. The continuity of coating on the wire shall be determined onrepresentative samples taken before stranding or insulating. The

34、 continuity of tinning shall be determined by the hydrochloricacid-sodium polysulfide test in accordance with 6.2.5.5 Adherence of CoatingThe tin coating shall be firmly adherent to the surface of the copper-clad steel wire. The adherenceof coating on the wire shall be determined on representative s

35、amples taken before stranding or insulating. The adherence of coatingshall be determined by the wrapping and immersion test in accordance with 6.3.5.6 JointsNecessary joints in the wire and rods prior to final coating and drawing shall be made in accordance with goodcommercial practice. Joints made

36、after coating shall not be allowed to remain in the final product.5.7 FinishThe coating shall consist of a smooth, continuous layer, firmly adherent to the surface of the copper. The wire shallbe bright and free from all imperfections not consistent with good commercial practice.6. Test Methods6.1 F

38、 each have a length of about 6 in. (150 mm). They shall be tagged or markedto correspond with the coil, spool, or reel from which they were cut.6.2.1.2 Treatment of SpecimensThe specimens shall be thoroughly cleaned by immersion in a suitable organic solvent suchas benzene, ether, or trichloroethyle

39、ne for at least 3 min, then removed and wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth. (WarningSee1.4.) The specimens thus cleaned shall be kept wrapped in a clean, dry cloth until tested.

A portion of HCl solution having a volume of 180 mL shall be considered to beexhausted when

44、, as shown by the presence in the solution of an excess of sulfur after thesolution has been allowed to stand for at least 24 h. The test solution shall be made by diluting a portion of the concentratedsolution with distilled water to a specific gravity of 1.142 at 15.6C (60F). The sodium polysulfid

45、e test solution should havesufficient strength to blacken thoroughly a piece of clean untinned copper wire in 5 s. A portion of the The test solution used fortesting samples shall not be considered to be exhausted untilif it fails to blacken a piece of clean copper as described above.NOTE 4It is imp

46、ortant that the polysulfide solution be of proper composition and strength at the time of test. A solution which is not saturated withsulfur or which has been made from decomposed sodium sulfide crystals may give a false indication of failure. Therefore, the requirement that the solutionbe tested by

47、 observing its blackening effect on a bright copper wire is significant. Significant also is the requirement that the solution be saturated withsulfur by allowing the solution to stand at least 24 h after preparation. Attention is called also to the necessity for the use of sodium sulfide which hasn

48、ot deteriorated through exposure to air; and if exposure has occurred, the crystals should be tested for purity. The “Standard Reagents Tests” of theAmerican Chemical Society are useful in this connection.6.2.3 Procedure:6.2.3.1 Immersion of SpecimensImmerse a length of at least 412 in. (115 mm) fro
