Abstract: A high-strength and high-fatigue-life steel for a cable, which comprises, in addition to Fe, the following chemical elements in percentages by mass: 0.90-1.00% of C; 0.90-1.50% of Si; 0.25-0.58% of Mn; 0.20-1.00% of Cr; 0.03-0.12% of V; and 0.0008-0.0025% of Ca. In addition, further provided are a wire rod made of the high-strength and high-fatigue-life steel for a cable and a preparation method for the wire rod.

Abstract: A spring steel having a superior fatigue life, and a manufacturing method for the same. The chemical components thereof are as follows in weight percentage: C: 0.52-0.62%, Si: 1.20-1.45%, Mn: 0.25-0.75%, Cr: 0.30-0.80%, V: 0.01-0.15%, Nb: 0.001-0.05%, N: 0.001-0.009%, O: 0.0005-0.0040%, P: ?0.015%, S: ?0.015%, and Al: ?0.0045%, with the remainder being Fe and incidental impurities, wherein the following condition is also met 0.02?(2Nb+V)/(20N+C)?0.40. The spring steel of the present invention has a microstructure of tempered troostite+tempered sorbite, a prior austenite grain size less than 80 um, a size of alloy nitride and carbide precipitates being 5-60 nm, and a maximum width of single-grain inclusions being less than 30 pm. The spring steel has a handling strength greater than 2020 MPa, superior ductility and toughness (the reduction of area?40%), and a fatigue life?800,000 times, thereby meeting application requirements of high-stress springs in industries, such as automobiles, machinery, and the like.
