A particular kind of steel wire with a semi-circular or semi-oval cross-section is called half round mild steel wire. Usually with a carbon content of less than 0.3%, low-carbon steel is used to make it. The shape of this particular kind of steel wire is akin to a half-oval or half-circle with rounded and flat sides.
A typical component used in the production of split pins, sometimes referred to as cotter pins or safety pins, is half-round mild steel wire. These wires are the perfect material for split pins since they can be bent and molded easily throughout the manufacturing process.
Bolts, nuts, and other fasteners are held in place with the help of split pins, which are an easy and reliable fastener. These fasteners are widely employed to secure crucial connections and guarantee the safe operation of mechanical assemblies in a variety of industries, including the automotive, construction, manufacturing, and equipment sectors. They offer an easy-to-use and dependable way to stop pieces from accidentally being loosened or disassembled.
According to IS standard IS 8563: 1977, all half round mild steel wire used to make split pins is covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
