Patent number: 6322641Abstract: Disclosed herein are a high-carbon steel wire having high strength and superior in resistance to longitudinal cracking, a steel for said high-carbons steel wire, and a process for producing said steel. The high-carbon steel wire is characterized in that the essential components are C (0.65-1.2 wt %), Si (0.1-2.0 wt %), Mn (0.2-2.0 wt %), and Fe, the main phase is pearlite, and the ferrite area ratio is less than 0.40 % in the surface layer up to a depth of 50 &mgr;m from the surface. The high-carbon steel may further contain B (0.0003-0.0050 wt %), Ti (less than 0.030 wt %), and N (less than 0.0050 wt %), with the amount of B, Ti, and N satisfying the following equation 0.03≦B/(Ti/3.43−N)≦5.0 The resulting steel wire produced in the usual way contains ferrite in an amount less than 0.40 wt % in its surface layer. This low ferrite content is responsible for good resistance to longitudinal cracking because ferrite causes longitudinal cracking to start from it.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho (Kobe Steel Ltd.)Inventors: Koichi Makii, Nobuhiko Ibaraki, Kenji Ochiai, Atsushi Inada, Sakae Wada, Takaaki Minamida, Mamoru Nagao
