There is provided a deformed steel wire includes, as a chemical component, by mass%; C: 0.30% to 1.10%, Si: 0.10% to 1.50%, and Mn: 0.20% to 1.50%, and the balance consists of Fe and unavoidable impurities, in which a metallographic structure is a ferrite-pearlite structure or a pearlite structure, integration degrees of a crystal orientation in a longitudinal direction of a thickness center area and a surface area are in a range of 2.0 to 4.0, an absolute value of a difference in the integration degree between an inner surface and an outer surface of the surface area is 0.3 or less, an integration degree of a crystal orientation in a thickness direction of the thickness center area is in a range of 1.2 to 3.8, and a dimensional accuracy index is in a range of 0.5 to 2.0.
摘要:
The invention provides wire rod excellent in drawability and steel wire made from the wire rod as starting material with high productivity at good yield and low cost. A hard steel wire rod of a specified composition is heated in a specified temperature range to conduct post-reaustenization patenting and thereby obtain a high-carbon steel wire excellent in ductility that has a pearlite structure of an area ratio of 97% or greater and the balance of non-pearlite structures including bainite, degenerate-pearlite and pro-eutectoid ferrite and whose fracture reduction of area RA satisfies Expressions (1), (2) and (3) below: RA ‰¥ RAmin where RAmin = a - b x pearlite block size (µm), a = - 0.0001187 × TS MPa 2 + 0.31814 × TS MPa - 151.32 b = 0.0007445 × TS MPa - 0.3753
