Abstract (en)

Disclosed in the present specification are steel and a steel wire, which are for a spring, and manufacturing methods therefor, the steel and the steel wire having excellent resistance to permanent deformation by having increased in-material dislocation density or reduced average grain diameter. The steel wire for a spring, having excellent resistance to permanent deformation, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises, by wt%, 0.4-0.7% of C, 1.2-2.3% of Si, 0.2-0.8% of Mn, 0.2-0.8% of Cr, and the balance of Fe (iron) and other inevitable impurities, wherein the dislocation density thereof can be 1.16 × 10<sup>15</sup>/m<sup>2</sup> or more, and the average grain diameter thereof can be 8.4 µm or less.
