[0003] Since steel balls and rollers for bearings are required to have high dimensional accuracy, the dimensional accuracy of wires used for forging in the manufacturing process is strictly controlled. Therefore, prior to forging, a wire drawing process is indispensable for the purpose of accurately adjusting the wire diameter to a predetermined size. The purpose of wire drawing is to correct variations in wire diameter or surface roughness caused by rolling or pickling,
Usually, the wire is rolled at a reduction of area of 5 to 10%.

[0004] However, in order to prevent forging cracks during cold forging, it is required to inspect surface flaws during wire drawing. For this reason, there is a problem that high-speed drawing cannot be performed with a bearing steel wire as with a general hard steel wire, and productivity is low. Further, for bearings, the wire diameter tolerance after drawing is strictly required, and it is necessary to frequently replace the drawing dies. As described above, the wire drawing process complicates the process, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to omit the wire drawing conventionally required in the manufacturing process of steel balls, rollers, etc., the present inventors have adopted the dimensional accuracy before forging regardless of the wire drawing. As a result of intensive studies based on the idea that it is necessary to increase the wire drawing, the wire diameter tolerance of the wire rod after pickling and before forging is within ± 0.10 mm and the surface It has been found that the roughness needs to be Ra 1.0 μm or less.
To this end, it has been conceived that it is better to control the wire diameter variation (tolerance) after hot rolling to a certain value or less, and to further reduce the scale thickness to 10 μm or less.

[0007] The tolerance of the wire diameter in the present invention is obtained by measuring the maximum diameter and the minimum diameter in the same cross section of the wire and displaying them in a variation range with respect to a target value. The surface roughness Ra is Ra specified in JIS B 0601, and is determined by a stylus type surface roughness meter using a method specified in JIS B 0601 with a cutoff value of 0.8 mm. First, the present inventors focused on the scale amount of a rolled bearing steel wire in order to reduce the surface roughness after pickling to Ra 1.0 μm or less. It is believed that the shorter the amount of scale after rolling or spheroidizing annealing, the shorter the pickling treatment time, and consequently the lower the surface roughness. In order to make the surface roughness after Ra 1.0 μm or less, the scale amount of the rolled wire should be 10 μm or less, and further, the scale amount of the rolled wire should be S content in steel and the hot wire of the wire. It has been found that it can be adjusted by controlling the winding temperature after rolling. That is, the scale thickness can be reduced to 10 μm or less by setting the winding temperature to [950-10000 × S (% by weight)] or less.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, the reasons for limiting the composition of a steel wire will be described. C: 0.5 to 1.2% Since the fatigue life of steel balls and rollers of a bearing is largely controlled by the hardness after quenching and tempering, the steel balls and rollers are required to have a hardness of a predetermined value or more.

Si: 0.8% or less Si is an element that acts as a deoxidizing agent and needs to be added. However, if it exceeds 0.8%, a great effect cannot be expected, so that Si is 0.8% or less. did. Incidentally, the content is preferably 0.1 to 0.5%. Mn: 0.2 to 1.5% Mn is an element which acts as a deoxidizing agent and further improves hardenability. However, if the added amount is less than 0.2%, these effects are not observed. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1.5%, the spheroidized structure becomes unstable. For this reason, Mn is limited to the range of 0.2 to 1.5%.

S: 0.010% or less S is one of the important constituent elements constituting the present invention.

Cr: 0.5 to 1.6% Cr is an element that stably forms a spheroidized structure and improves hardenability. In the present invention, Cr is added in an amount of 0.5% or more.

One or more selected from among 50% or less Mo, Cu, and Ni are all elements that increase the hardenability of steel, and can be added as necessary. However, when Mo, Cu and Ni are added in large amounts, the pickling property and the forgeability deteriorate.
Therefore, the upper limits were set to 0.30% for Mo, 0.50% for Cu, and 0.50% for Ni.

However, if it exceeds 0.010%, the amount of inclusions increases, and on the contrary, the fatigue life decreases. Remaining Fe and unavoidable impurities The remaining is Fe and unavoidable impurities. In particular, P is preferably reduced to 0.015% or less because it affects the rolling fatigue life. In addition, O is 0.

In the present invention, in addition to the above steel composition, the surface roughness Ra of the steel wire after pickling is set to 1.0 μm or less. If the surface roughness after pickling is set to Ra: 1.0 μm or less, it is not necessary to perform wire drawing before forging. This is achieved by reducing the scale formed on the surface of the steel wire rod after hot rolling to a thickness of 10 μm or less.

Further, in the steel wire of the present invention, the tolerance of the wire diameter of the steel wire after pickling is set to within ± 0.10 mm of a target value. If the tolerance of the wire diameter exceeds ± 0.10 mm, wire drawing is required. The steel wire for bearing is usually cut and forged after hot rolling, and then subjected to a spheroidizing annealing-pickling-surface treatment-drawing process. As described above, since the tolerance between the surface roughness and the wire diameter after the pickling is defined, the wire drawing can be omitted, and the manufacturing can be performed at low cost.

The manufacturing conditions of the steel wire of the present invention will be described. The molten steel having the above-described composition is smelted by a known smelting method such as a converter, and a steel material having a predetermined size is formed by an ingot-rolling method or a continuous casting method. In the present invention, it is not necessary to particularly limit the melting method or the casting method. Steel material is 900 ~ 10
After being heated to 50 ° C., it is subjected to hot rolling to obtain a steel wire having a predetermined wire diameter. If the heating temperature is lower than 900 ° C., the deformation resistance increases, the variation in the wire diameter increases, and the tolerance after pickling increases. On the other hand, when the heating temperature exceeds 1050 ° C., a scale structure in which the ground iron interface is difficult to peel off is obtained, the amount of scale formed on the surface of the wire increases, and the decarburization depth increases. For this reason, the heating temperature of the hot rolling is limited to a range of 900 to 1,050 ° C.

The hot rolling includes rough rolling and finish rolling. The rough rolling may be performed by a usual method.
As shown in FIG. 2, rolling may be performed while shifting the rolling direction in a rolling mill row in which a plurality of two-roll rolling mills are arranged, but as shown in FIG. It is preferable to perform finish rolling in which at least two passes are performed with the rolling direction shifted in a rolling mill row in which a plurality of four-roll rolling mills are arranged in order to further reduce variation in wire diameter.

On the other hand, if the winding temperature exceeds (950-10000 × S (% by weight)) ° C., the scale generated in the wire increases and the pickling property deteriorates, so that the surface roughness of the wire after pickling becomes rough. , Wire drawing is required. For this reason, the winding temperature is 750 ° C or more (950-10000 × S (% by weight)).

Further, the surface roughness and the wire diameter of the rolled steel wire rod after further spheroidizing annealing and pickling treatment were measured. The spheroidizing annealing conditions were as follows: after soaking at 790 ° C. for 8 hours.
The temperature was gradually cooled to 00 ° C. at 15 ° C./h. Pickling, concentration: 15 ±
The test was performed by immersing in 3% hydrochloric acid (liquid temperature: 35 ± 3 ° C) for 40 minutes. The wire diameter was measured by measuring the maximum diameter and the minimum diameter of the same cross section at an arbitrary location, and calculating a variation range with respect to a target value (7.50 mm) as a tolerance. The surface roughness was measured by the above-described method using a stylus type surface roughness meter at two locations with a measurement length of 10 mm each.
