The invention belongs to the field of
metallurgy and discloses
spring steel round steel and a production process thereof. The
spring steel round steel comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.56 to 0.64 percent of carbon (C), 1.60 to 2.00 percent of
silicon (Si), 0.70 to 1.00 percent of
manganese (Mn), less than or equal to 0.025 percent of
phosphorus (P), less than or equal to 0.025 percent of
sulfur (S), 0.15 to 0.35 percent of
chromium (Cr), less than or equal to 0.35 percent of
nickel (Ni), less than or equal to 0.25 percent of
copper (Cu) and the balance of Ferrum (Fe). The production process comprises the following steps of: converter or electric furnace
smelting, LF refining, VD degassing, CCM
continuous casting and bar rolling. The
spring steel round steel of the invention has the characteristics of low alloying element content, low decarburizing tendency, high temper resistance, high hot-working performance, low cost, high performance after
heat processing and the like of a common round steel; besides, the spring steel round steel simultaneously has high cold workability under the condition of
air cooling after rolling. The process ensures that the rolled spring steel round steel obtains a texture of
pearlite and a small number of ferrolites under the condition of
air cooling, and has high
plasticity and
toughness during cold working, and every performance can meet the requirements of GB / T1222 after
heat processing.
