Abstract (en)

A spring steel wire rod according to the present invention is a spring steel wire rod wherein: the spring steel wire rod contains C: 0.35% to 0.7% (by mass, the same is hereunder applied), Si: 1.5% to 2.50%, Mn: 0.05% to 1.0%, Cr: 0.05% to 1.9%, Cu: 0.05% to 0.7%, Ni: 0.15% to 0.8%, P: 0.02% or less (excluding 0%), S: 0.02% or less (excluding 0%); and the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein the ratio of Si to Cu (Si/Cu) is in the range of 4 or more; and the difference between the concentration of Cu in the surface layer and the concentration of Cu in the steel is 0.50% or less and the difference between the concentration of Ni in the surface layer and the concentration of Ni in the steel is 1.00% or less. The present invention makes it possible to improve pickling performance in a spring steel wire rod containing Si abundantly and further Cr, Cu, and Ni.
