The invention discloses a
chromium-free SWRH82B high-
carbon steel wire rod and a production method. The
wire rod comprises the following components: (0.80-0.84) wt% of C, (0.15-0.30) wt% of Si, (0.70-0.80) wt% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.015 wt% of P, less than or equal to 0.010 wt% of S, less than or equal to 0.10 wt% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.005 wt% of Al and the balance of Fe. The method comprises the following steps: (1)
smelting raw materials by adopting a top-bottom combined blown converter, wherein
chromium is not added during
smelting; (2) refining by adopting an LF (
Ladle Furnace) after
smelting, wherein
chromium is not added during refining; (3) carrying out
continuous casting on a square billet with the size of (150mm * (150-180) mm after refining; (4) heating the steel billet after
continuous casting; (5) after the steel billet is heated, high-pressure water is adopted for descaling; (6) carrying out high-speed
wire rod rolling after descaling; and (7) carrying out controlled cooling by adopting a Stelmor
air cooling line after rolling. According to the method,
ferrochrome is not added into a converter and a refining furnace, steel billets are evenly heated, chemical component homogenization is promoted, the
cooling speed before
air cooling line
phase change is increased to 10 DEG C / s or above from 7.5 DEG C / s, the sorbite proportion reaches 90% or above, steel billet element segregation is controlled, the
martensite content and grade are reduced, and meanwhile it is guaranteed that the strength and area shrinkage of the wire rod meet the quality requirement.
