This record defaults to the Si range listed in the table; do not arbitrarily fill in when no specific low-silicon agreement range is given. ; Note c: For the first 11 grades in Table 3, Cr may be added by agreement to improve hardenability and mechanical properties; the addition amount must be confirmed by both parties; When no agreement is provided, residual Cr ≤ 0.20% according to 7.1.5. ; 7.1.5 Residual Cr, Ni, and Cu are each ≤ 0.20%, and residual Sn ≤ 0.06%; The residual Cr upper limit is not applicable when Cr has a listed alloy range in the table. ; 7.1.7 Unless otherwise specified in the table, the permissible deviation of the finished product chemical composition shall be according to GB/T222; heat analysis values shall not be substituted for finished product tolerances. ; The original text applies to 5–52mm hot-rolled wire rod for cold heading; specific product specifications, supply, and processing routes still need to be confirmed; Mechanical properties to be verified separately.

Table footnote a: residual Cr≤0.20, Ni≤0.20, Cu≤0.20, Mo≤0.06 wt%; where this row specifies otherwise, its requirement for that element takes precedence. Unlisted elements and special agreement requirements must not be treated as zero or assumed guarantees; permitted product-analysis deviations are governed separately by GB/T 222. Wire rod is delivered hot rolled; stricter P/S under Z1 and special surface or inclusion quality must be confirmed under normative Annex A and the contractual ordering codes. Fixed mechanical properties must not be inferred from the chemistry table.
