Benefits of technology

[0012]As described above, one exemplary embodiment of the present invention may provide a wire rod for drawing, which has high strength and high ductility, by controlling a C content to a suitable range and simultaneously adding Si and Cr together.
[0013]Also, another exemplary embodiment of the present invention may provide a method for manufacturing a wire rod for drawing having high strength and high ductility.

Problems solved by technology

However, the above-mentioned processes are not carried out in an independent manner, but associated with each other, such that they cause the changes in strength of the wire rod.
Therefore, the above-mentioned processes have their limits on improvement of the strength since parameters of the respective processes are under the independent control.
Also, when alloy elements are simply added at a large amount in order to enhance strength of a wire rod, the ductility of the wire rod may be poor, and thus be disconnected when it is manufactured after the rolling process.
Also, the increases in the C content may lead to the improved strength of the wire rod, but rather result in the deteriorated ductility of the wire rod.

example 1

[0042]Each of steel billets having components and their contents as listed in the following Table 1 was heated at 1100 to 1300° C., and hot-rolled, and then cooled at a rate of 10 to 20° C. / s to obtain a wire rod. Then, each of the prepared wire rods was measured for tensile strength (TS), reduction of area (RA), and interlamellar spacing of a pearlite structure.

[0043]As listed in the following Table 1, it was revealed that wire rods of Comparative steels 1 to 6 have a tensile strength of 1119 to 1249 MPa, and show their 30% or less reduction of area, except for the Comparative steel 1. In the case of the Comparative steel 1, it was seen that the wire rod has a high reduction of area owing to the low C content (i.e. 0.82% by weight), but is not suitable for a high-strength steel due to the very low strength (i.e. 1119 MPa) of steel.

[0044]On the contrary, it was revealed that Inventive steels 1 to 5 have a tensile strength of 1300 MPa or more, and also show their 30% or more reductio...

example 2

[0048]Each of the wire rods (Inventive steel 1, Comparative steels 4 and 5) prepared in the method of Example 1 was austenized at 1050° C., lead-patented at a solder pot temperature of 550° C. to obtain a steel sheet. Then, each of the steel sheets was measured for tensile strength and interlamellar spacing. The results are listed in the following Table 2.

[0049]As listed in Table 2, it was revealed that a tensile strength of the Inventive steel 1 is increased by 88 MPa due to the increased Si content, compared to the Comparative steel 4. Also, it was revealed that the Inventive steel 1 has a superior tensile strength to the Comparative steel 5 whose C content is higher than that of the Inventive steel 1. And it was seen that, owing to the combined addition of Si and Cr, the Inventive steel 1 shows its superior tensile strength even after the LP process (i.e. heat treatment). In this case, it was seen that the Inventive steel 1 has an interlamellar spacing of 26 nm, which is about a ...

example 3

[0050]Each of the wire rods (Inventive steel 1, Comparative steels 4 and 5) prepared in the method of Examples 1 and 2 was drawn to obtain a steel sheet. Then, each of the steel sheets was measured for physical properties. The results are listed in the following Table 3. The drawing process was carried out at a constant strain of 3.2% or more, and a diameter of the final steel wire was 2.7 mm.

[0051]It was revealed that the Inventive steel 1 has all high physical properties such as tensile strength, twists and fatigue property, compared to those of the Comparative steels 4 and 5.

[0052]The twists represent the workability or ductility of a steel wire at maintaining its superior strength. Here, it was revealed that the Inventive steels have the superior physical properties to the Comparative steels. The superior ductility of a wire rod functions to reduce a disconnection rate of the wire rod during the drawing process and suppress the delamination in the wire rod.

[0053]Also, the fatigu...

The wire rod for drawing comprises, by weight: carbon (C): 0.87 to 1.0%, manganese (Mn): 0.1 to 0.60%, silicon (Si): 0.3 to 1.0%, sulfur (S): 0.010% or less (excluding 0%), phosphorus (P): 0.011% or less (excluding 0%), chromium (Cr): 0.1 to 0.5%, nitrogen (N): 0.007% or less (excluding 0%), and the balance of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, wherein the sum of the Si and Cr contents satisfies the following equation: 0.6≦Si+Cr≦1.2 (the contents of Si and Cr is represented by ‘% by weight’), and the wire rod has a pearlite structure.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a wire rod for drawing having superior strength and ductility, the wire rod being used for a tire cord, a wire rope, a piano wire, a bridge steel wire and the like, and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a wire rod for drawing having high strength and high ductility by controlling a C content to a suitable range and simultaneously adding Si and Cr together to produce a lamella structure of pearlite into a fine pearlite microstructure, and a method for manufacturing the same.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In general, there are three known methods for manufacturing a high-strength wire rod for drawing, as follows.[0003]First, the strength of a base steel may be enhanced by adding a large amount of a strengthening element to the base steel. Carbon (C) is a representative example of the strengthening element. The strength of a desired wire rod is increasingly enhanced as the content of C increases from a hypoeutectoi...
