Spring steel wires and process for producing the same.

摘要

A spring steel wire that has a tensile strength of at least 2,000 N/mm<2> and a surface roughness of not more than 5 mu m in terms of Rz, and a spring steel wire that consists essentially of from 0.5 to 0.8% by weight of C, from 1.2 to 2.5% by weight of Si, from 0.4 to 0.8% by weight of Mn, from 0.7 to 1.0% by weight of Cr, from 0.005 to 0.030% by weight of N and at least two elements selected from the group consisting of from 0.1 to 0.6% by weight of V, from 0.05 to 0.50% by weight of Mo and from 0.05 to 0.50% by weight of W, with the balance being Fe and incidental impurities containing not more than 0.005% by weight of Al and not more than 0.005% by weight of Ti, said wire having a surface roughness of not more than 5 mu m in terms of Rz, as well as production processes therefor.
