Title:
STEEL WIRE FOR SPRING EXCELLENT IN FATIGUE PROPERTY AND DRAWING PROPERTY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/053884
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A steel wire for springs which shows excellent drawing properties when used not only
as a steel wire for springs for cold winding which is to be drawn, subsequently quenched/tempered,
and processed into a steel spring, but also as a steel wire for springs for cold
winding which is drawn and then directly processed into a steel spring. It gives
a spring having excellent fatigue properties. The steel wire for springs, which
is excellent in fatigue properties and drawing properties, comprises a steel
containing carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, titanium, boron, etc. in
specific amounts and having boron, titanium, and nitrogen contents (wt.%) satisfying
the following relationship (1): 0.03≤B/(Ti/3.43-N)≤5.0, the
amount of boron in solution being 0.0005-0.0040% and the remainder being iron
and incidental impurities. In the steel wire, the boron in solution is present at
perlite nodule boundaries in a higher concentration.
