Itwas approved on behalf of the Council of Standards Australia on 16 December 2002and published on 8 January 2003.The following are represented on Committee MT-001:Australasian Railway AssociationAustralian Building Codes BoardAustralian Chamber of Commerce and IndustryAustralian Industry GroupAustralian Foundry InstituteAustralian Institute of Steel ConstructionBureau of Steel Manufacturers of AustraliaConfederation of Australian IndustryInstitute of Materials Engineering Australia Keeping Standards up-to-date Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology andsystems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, andnew editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselvesthey are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments whichmay have been published since the Standard was purchased.Detailed information about Standards can be found by visiting the StandardsAustralia web site atwww.standards.com.auand looking up the relevant Standardin the on-line catalogue.Alternatively, the printed Catalogue provides information current at 1 January each year, and the monthly magazine, The Australian Standard , has a full listing of revisions and amendments published each month.We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especiallyencourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies orambiguities.

AS 1472—2003 2 PREFACE This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of the Joint StandardsAustralia/Standards New Zealand Committee MT-001, Iron and Steel. After consultationwith stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealanddecided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/NewZealand Standard.The objective of this Standard is to specify requirements and tests for carbon steel springwire of round cross-section for the manufacture of mechanical springs. Four types, orconditions, of spring wire are covered.During revision of this Standard cognisance was taken of the three-part InternationalStandard ISO 8458, Steel wire for mechanical springs . The Committee decided against itsadoption as an Australian Standard because it does not cover the full range of mechanicalspring wires used by Australian industry, and it imposes unacceptable restrictions on wiremanufacturing practice. Notable changes that have been introduced in the revised Standard relate to wire diametertolerances, which have been rationalized, and to coil presentation and cast, which are nowmore clearly specified. The Standard has been expanded in respect of optional drawnmetallic coatings and now includes zinc/aluminium-alloy coatings. The coating class,previously unspecified, for both zinc and zinc/aluminium-alloy coatings has been set atW02.The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of theappendix to which is applies. An ‘informative’ appendix is only for information andguidance. T h i s i s a f r e e 6 p a g e s a m p l e .
