steel wire rod intended for heat treatment;
free-cutting steel wire rod;
steel wire rod for cold heading and cold extrusion;
steel wire rod intended for the production of electrodes and products for welding;
steel wire rod for welded fabric for reinforcement for concrete;
steel wire rod for ball and roller bearings (see ISO 683-17);
steel wire rod for wire for high fatigue strength mechanical springs, such as valve springs.
In addition to the requirements of ISO 16120-1:2011, the general technical delivery requirements specified in ISO 404 apply.
