The invention discloses a 102-grade steel cord, a 102-grade steel cord steel
wire rod and a production method of the 102-grade steel cord steel
wire rod. The production method comprises the following steps: in a steel
smelting stage,
smelting molten steel of which the size of inclusions is less than or equal to 15 microns; in the blank
casting stage, the center carbon segregation value of a
continuous casting blank is smaller than or equal to 1.05, and C in a segregation area is smaller than or equal to 1.09%; a cogging stage; in the rolling stage, the rolled
wire rod comprises the following chemical components in percentage by
mass: 1.00-1.04% of C, 0.2-0.3% of Si, 0.3-0.4% of Mn, 0.3-0.4% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.0020% of Al, less than or equal to 0.0006% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.003% of S, less than or equal to 0.008% of P, less than or equal to 0.03% of Cu, less than or equal to 0.02% of Ni, less than or equal to 0.0015% of O, less than or equal to 0.0030% of N and the balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities; wherein the content of Mn and the content of Si meet the condition that Mn / Si is equal to 1.3-1.6; a
temperature control cooling stage; and in the
salt bath heat treatment stage, the wire rod subjected to
temperature control cooling is heated in a
salt bath heating furnace and then sent to a
salt pond to be rapidly cooled, the temperature in the
salt bath heating furnace ranges from 960 DEG C to 980 DEG C, the temperature of
molten salt ranges from 520 DEG C to 540 DEG C, and the wiring speed of the wire rod ranges from 10 m / min to 12 m / min. According to the invention, the problems of limited strength and easy
wire breakage during drawing caused by
high carbon content of the tire cord steel are solved.
