Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2832891A1] This steel wire rod for a high-strength spring is a hot-rolled steel wire rod which has a prescribed chemical composition and a texture such that the area fraction of pearlite is 90% or more; and the average grain size number of pearlite nodules, namely Pave, satisfies the relationship (1) 6.0 ‰¤ Pave ‰¤ 12.0. In the hot-rolled steel wire rod, the total decarburized depth of the surface layer is 0.20 mm or less, and the content of Cr-based alloy carbides is 7.5% or lower relative to the mass of the steel wire rod. The wire rod for a high strength spring and a high-strength spring obtained using the same as the raw material exhibit excellent shavability and ensure excellent discharge of shavings and excellent SV processing which is not accompanied with the breaking of wire.
