Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A Si-killed steel wire rod for obtaining a spring excellent in fatigue properties and a spring excellent in fatigue properties obtained from such steel wire rod are provided. In the Si-killed steel wire rod of the present invention, oxide-based inclusions present in the wire rod contain SiO 2 : 30-90%, Al 2 O 3 : 2-35%, MgO: 35% or below (not inclusive of 0%), CaO: 50% or below (not inclusive of 0%), MnO: 20% or below (not inclusive of 0%) and BaO: 0.2-20% respectively, and total content of (CaO+MgO) is 3% or above.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A Si-killed steel wire rod excellent in fatigue properties, wherein oxide-based inclusions present in the wire rod comprise in mass % SiO 2 : 30-90%, Al 2 O 3 : 2-35%, MgO: 35% or below (not inclusive of 0%), CaO: 50% or below (not inclusive of 0%), MnO: 20% or below (not inclusive of 0%) and BaO: 0.2-20% respectively, and the total content of (MgO+CaO) is 3% or above. 2 . The Si-killed steel wire rod as set forth in claim 1 , wherein oxide-based inclusions present in the wire rod further comprise Li 2 O in a range of 0.1-20%. 3 . The Si-killed steel wire rod as set forth in claim 1 , composed of steel comprising C: 1.2% or below (not inclusive of 0%), Si: 0.1-4.0%, Mn: 0.1-2.0%, and Al: 0.01% or below (not inclusive of 0%) respectively. 4 . The Si-killed steel wire rod as set forth in claim 3 , further comprising one or more elements selected from a group consisting of Cr, Ni, V, Nb, Mo, W, Cu, Ti, Co and a rare earth element. 5 . The Si-killed steel wire rod as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities. 6 . A spring obtained from the Si-killed steel wire rod as set forth in claim 1 .
