The present invention provides a non-
heat treated steel
wire rod having excellent cold forgeability and a manufacturing method thereof. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the non-
heat treated steel
wire rod having excellent cold forgeability contains, by weight, carbon (C): about 0.20% to 0.40%,
silicon (Si): about 0.10% to 0.30%,
manganese (Mn): about 1.30% to 1.60%,
phosphorus (P): about more than 0% to 0.05%,
sulfur (S): about more than 0% to 0.05%,
chromium (Cr): about 0.02% to 0.30%,
nickel (Ni): about 0.02% to 0.30%,
molybdenum (Mo): about 0.02% to 0.30%,
vanadium (V): about 0.01% to 0.15%,
Niobium (Nb): approximately 0.01% to 0.05%, aluminum (Al): approximately 0.005% to 0.060%,
titanium (Ti): approximately 0.005% to 0.020%,
copper (Cu): approximately 0.01% to 0.30%,
boron (B): approximately 0.0001% to 0.0020%,
nitrogen (N): approximately 0.005% to 0.015%, and the balance includes iron (Fe) and other unavoidable impurities, and the total of the
niobium (Nb) and the
vanadium (V) is approximately 0.02% to 0.2%, and a tensile strength of approximately 900 MPa or more can be achieved.
