To provide a wire for a taper-faced compression ring, which can be provided with a running-in surface (contact surface) uniformly and rapidly in the production process of the taper-faced compression ring, a surface of the wire corresponding to an outer peripheral surface of the ring is provided with adjacent outward inclined first and second tapered portions, the inclination angle ¸2 of the second tapered portion being larger than the inclination angle ¸1 of the first tapered portion, and an outer end of the second tapered portion being located radially outward than an outer end of the first tapered portion by 0.005-0.05 mm. A long-life taper-faced compression ring with reduced friction and improved fuel efficiency is formed by the above wire, the second tapered portion having a lapped surface located radially outward than an outer end of the first tapered portion by 0.001-0.048 mm. |
