IS 6528 : 2024 Stainless Steel Wire - Specification

ICS 77.140.20, 77.140.65

MTD 16

1 SCOPE

1.1 This standard covers the requirement for stainless steel wire for general corrosion resistance, supplied in the form of round, flat, and shaped wire (such as square, hexagonal, rectangular or any other shape wire). The wire can be supplied in coils or in straightened and cut lengths.

1.2 This standard does not cover stainless steel wire that are covered under other published standards for wire for specific purposes such as welding electrodes, wire for cold heading, etc.
