Introduction
The Atlas Wire & Bar Mill
The Atlas Wire and Bar mill was opened in 1962 and since then has played an
important role in the Australian and New Zealand manufacturing industry as a
supplier of specialty metal wire and bar product. Today the mill remains as the
only commercial operated mill of its type in this region of the world.
Rod is the hot rolled feed produced in coil and purchased by the down stream
drawers, such as the Atlas Wire and Bar Mill. This product is then cold drawn
down to wire or bar with diameters, properties and finishes suitable for further
processing in industrial applications.
Wire is typically supplied as coil and bar is supplied as straightened and cut
lengths.
The Atlas Wire and Bar Mill draws down coiled stainless and high-speed steel
wire rod until the wire or bar diameter meets the customer’s required diameter,
mechanical properties and finish.
The minimum diameter of wire rod supplied to Atlas is 5.5mm and the Atlas
Wire and Bar Mill is capable of drawing wire and bar down to diameters
between 1mm and 16mm.
An overview of the Atlas Wire and Bar Mill processing line is shown in the
diagram below:

Introduction
The wire rod is delivered to Atlas’ bar and wire mill where it is plunged into
an inorganic salt coating bath and then baked in preparation for the drawing
process. Once the coated wire rod has dried, it is fed through a series of multi-
hole and some single-hole wire drawing machines, which reduce the wire rod
to the required diameter.
The wire can also be heat treated (annealed) to soften it, making it more
malleable. The wire is fed through a furnace, where it is heated, quenched in
water and coated. It may then be drawn again to the exact diameter required
by the customer.

Stainless steel wire and bar
Wire & bar products
Wire and bar is produced to meet the demands of many industries, in the
following broad categories:-
- Weaving wire for manufacture of woven and welded screens and belts.
- Forming wire for a vast array of clips, handles, frames, rings and brackets, in
strengths from annealed through intermediate tempers to full hard.
- Spring temper wire - a very high strength wire used in production of corrosion
resistant coiled springs.
Grades available
Stainless steel wire and bar is available in standard grades 302HQ, 303, 304, 316,
316L, 416 and 430, and a range of other grades specific to particular
industries as required. (See the Application Table on page 18). Special grades can
be sourced for new applications.

Wire and bar can be supplied with a tensile strength suitable for the particular
application. Reference should be made to the Atlas Technical Department in
deciding the optimum tensile strength required for specific applications.
Where a non-standard tensile strength is specified a 200 MPa range (± 100 MPa
tolerance) is normally required. This wire can also be supplied in straightened

Cold heading wire
The usual grades produced are 302HQ and 316. A much lesser quantity of 430 is
produced for heading applications. All of these grades are suitable to produce
the full range of headed fasteners including cross recess pan-heads and cross
recess counter-sunk heads.
Type 304 is used in some applications where the degree of cold forming is not
as severe or where a higher strength fastener is required, such as some nails and
self drilling screws.
Heading wire is normally supplied with a final light “skin pass” draw, although
that destined for very severe cold heading operations can be “annealed at final
size” - this is the softest possible condition.
Note: Random weights between the limits shown; 10% of the number of coils may be up to 50% below the stated minimum weight.
Specified coil weights or sizes may be available subject to prior agreement.

Spring wire
Spring wire
Types 304 and 316 are the two most common grades used for spring wire.
The spring coating is usually left on the wire to assist spring making; this is the
same coating as “supercoat” left on heading wire. Imported spring wire may
alternatively be either nickel plated or “resin” coated (a very thin transparent
coating of PVC).
Coated wire is essential for spring coiling. Very tightly wound springs,
particularly of large diameter wire, tend to be most demanding of coatings.
Atlas use special versions of Types 304 and 316 for spring wire. These have
carefully controlled analysis ranges to ensure the required tensile strength
values are obtained.
Spring temper wire has the highest tensile strength of any of the stainless steel
wires; the standard strength is in conformance with ASTM A313M, as listed later
in this section, but wire can be supplied to conform with other specifications,
such as JIS G4314, if required.

General information
Wire cast & helix
The “cast” and “helix” are important features of the finished wire and define
how well it is “killed” (not to be confused with “killed” carbon or low alloy
steel, where killing refers to the deoxidation practice used in melting the steel).
These properties are observed by cutting a single lap from the final coil and
laying it on a flat surface. The cast is the natural loop diameter which this free
lap takes up; the helix is the difference in height between its two cut ends i.e.
how much of a rise is present. Zero helix is if the lap lies perfectly flat. The ideal
is a cast equal to the coil diameter and nil helix. Particular requirements for cast
and helix should be discussed at time of order.

Hardening and tempering
Other tempering temperatures can be used and will result in alternative tensile strengths.
Removal of coatings
Spring coat/supercoat Immerse in hot alkaline detergent followed by rinsing.
Lime Short immersion in 20-40% nitric acid followed by washing in hot water.
Passivation
The natural invisible protective film which forms on the surface of stainless steels
can be protected and all traces of iron contamination removed by subjecting
these alloys to strong oxidising chemicals such as nitric acid. All of the 300 series
grades and the 400 series grades containing 16% or more chromium (except free
machining grades such as 303) may be satisfactorily passivated in a 20-50% by
volume solution of nitric acid at temperatures ranging from 50-70ºC for periods
from 10-30 minutes. Care must be taken when passivating the straight
chromium grades containing 12-14% chromium (e.g. Type 410). A solution
containing 20-50% nitric acid should be used. The temperature range should be
between 40 and 55ºC. Full details of pickling and passivation procedures can be
found in ASTM A380, in the Technical Handbook or at the Atlas Speciality Metals
website.

● ● ● ● ● ● ● Improved corrosion resistance over type 316. Often successfully applied where type 316
has given only moderate performance. Applications such as acetic acid distillation, pulp &
paper machinery, ink & dying processes. 317L is a variation of 317 suitable for heavy
gauge welding.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● Excellent corrosion resistance, equivalent to type 302 and 304 in the annealed condition
and superior if the application involves service in 425ºC - 870ºC range. Typical applications
include expansion joints, furnace parts, aerospace and power industries, heat exchangers
and steam generators.
● ● ● ● ● This grade is resistant to Chromium Carbide precipitation. This is suitable for parts
fabricated by welding or for parts which must operate between 425ºC - 870ºC.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● “Super Austenitic” grade with very high corrosion resistance, especially to strong acids
and chlorides.
● Excellent high temperature strength and resistance to scaling at high temperatures.
● Useful corrosion resistance particularly in wet abrasion environments. Readily welded and
formed into tanks, flues, etc.
● ● ● Resists atmospheric and automotive exhaust gas corrosion. Extensively used in auto
exhaust systems and structural applications.
● ● ● Good combinations of corrosion resistance, formability and mechanical properties. Typical
applications include automotive trims, element supports, cold headed fasteners, wire
shelves.
●
430F is a free machining version of 430.
● ● Molybdenum improves the pitting resistance over grade 430. Good for automotive trim
components.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● 2205 microstructure in approximately 50% ferrite and 50% austenitic which results in the
steel possessing high strength and hardness and resistance to erosion, fatigue, stress
corrosion cracking and pitting and crevice corrosion.
● ● ● Resists dry atmospheres, fresh water, mild alkalines and acids, steam and hot gases. Must
be hardened for maximum heat and corrosion resistance. Typical applications include cold
heading, bolts, nuts & screws. Pump parts and shafts, steam and gas turbine parts, mine
ladder rungs.
● ● Good resistance in the hardened condition to the atmosphere. Food, fresh water and mild
alkalies or acids. Higher carbon hardenable grade. Typical applications include cutlery,
surgical instruments, shear blades, needle valves.
● ● Excellent resistance to a wide variety of corrosive media. High tensile and torque strength.
Pump & boat shafts, nuts, bolts and marine hardware.
● Precipitation handling (“Aging”) treatment after machining gives high strength without
distortion. Corrosion resistance similar to Type 304.
