ASTM A856/A856M-03(2014) - 1.11.2014
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers soft, medium, and hard temper zinc-5 % aluminum-mischmetal (Zn-5 Al-MM) alloy-coated carbon steel wire in coils for general use. The product is intended for applications requiring corrosion resistance, drawability, and formability.

1.2 This specification is applicable to orders in either inch-pound units (as A856) or acceptable SI units [as A856M]. Inch-pound units and SI units are not necessarily equivalent; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.

1.3 This specification references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this specification.
