The invention relates to a
wire rod for a pipeline steel gas shield
welding wire and a manufacturing method of the
wire rod, the
wire rod comprises the following elemental components in percentage by
mass: 0.06-0.09% of C, 0.55-0.80% of Si, 1.45-1.60% of Mn, 0.008-0.015% of S, 0.85-0.95% of Ni, 0.060-0.085% of Ti, 30-70ppm of O and the balance of Fe and inevitable
impurity elements, and the
impurity elements comprise less than or equal to 0.003% of P, less than or equal to 0.002% of Sb, less than or equal to 0.002% of Sn and less than or equal to 0.003% of As. The
microstructure of the wire rod is ferrite and
pearlite, TiO2 inclusions distributed in a dispersed mode exist in the
microstructure, the size of the TiO2 inclusions is stably smaller than 5 micrometers, and the number of the inclusions in unit area is stably larger than 35 / mm < 2 >. The tensile strength of the wire rod is stable to be smaller than or equal to 700 MPa, the
area reduction is larger than or equal to 65%, good
plasticity is achieved, and direct drawing operation with the
area reduction rate reaching 95% or above can be carried out. The manufacturing method comprises the steps of molten iron pretreatment,
molten steel primary
smelting, LF refining, square billet
continuous casting, square billet heating and rolling and wire rod cooling.
