HIGH-CARBON SOFT WIRE ROD NOT REQUIRING SOFTENING TREATMENT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided are a method for manufacturing a high-carbon soft wire rod which omits softening treatment and a wire rod manufactured thereby, and the method comprises the steps of: austenitizing a billet including 0.7-1.5 weight% of C, 0.005-2.0 weight% of Si, 0.2-1.5 weight% of Mn, 0.03 weight% or less of Al, 0.02 weight% or less of P, 0.02 weight% or less of S, and the remaining weight percent of Fe and necessary impurities at the temperature of A3 or more; performing a finish-rolling process at A1 to A1+80°C; and cooling the rolled wire rod to A1-50°C to A1-100°C at the cooling speed of 0.03°C/s.
