This specification establishes the general requirements common to wrought copper and copper alloy wires. The materials for manufacture shall be a cast bar, billet, rod, or other form of such purity and soundness as to be suitable for processing by hot working, cold working, and subsequent annealing to produce finished products that meet the specified temper properties and have a uniform wrought structure. Products shall be sampled and prepared, then tested accordingly to examine their conformance to dimensional (diameter, thickness, specific and stock lengths, width, straightness, and edge contour), mechanical (tensile, yield and bend strengths, elongation, and Rockwell hardness), electrical (resistivity and conductivity), chemical composition, and grain size requirements. In the event of conflict between this specification and the individual casting product specifications, the requirements of the casting specification shall take precedence.
