Thereafter, the wire 1 was immersed in a mixture of powdered chromium and powdered ammonium chloride as a catalyst in a ratio of approximately 10:1, and was subjected to a diffusion treatment by heating at 1000° C. for 0.75 hours. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, a chromium carbide layer 2 as a surface hardening layer is deposited on the surface of the wire 1 to a thickness of about 10 μm. By depositing this chromium carbide layer 2, the carbon in the wire 1 is consumed,
The carbon content in the wire 1 was approximately 0.8% by weight. As shown in FIG. 1, the internal structure of the wire 1 after the chromium carbide layer 2 is formed is a pearlite structure.

Thereafter, a quenching treatment was performed by heating to 850°C and oil cooling, followed by a tempering treatment at 400°C for 0.5 hours. As a result, the internal structure of the wire 1 could be made into a uniform tempered martensitic structure as shown in FIG. And the internal hardness of wire 1 is microvits hardness 450Hv ~

Further, the chromium carbide layer 2 formed on the surface of the wire 1 was stably and firmly bonded even after the quenching and tempering treatment, and the surface hardness was maintained at a micro-Vickers hardness of 1500 Hv to 2000 Hv. The stability of the chromium carbide layer 2 is thought to be due to the fact that the bonding force between chromium carbide and the steel material is very strong compared to other metal carbides.

FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the thickness of the chromium carbide layer 2 formed on the surface of the wire 1 and the carbon content within the wire 1. In Figure 3, the solid line is the data when a hard steel wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm is used as the base material of wire 1, and the broken line is the data when a hard steel wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm is used. The carbon content in the wire 1 is approximately 1.5% by weight.

As can be seen from FIG. 3, in order to set the carbon content in the wire 1 to 0.6 to 1.0% by weight and to make the inside of the wire 1 a uniform tempered martensitic structure by quenching and tempering, the diameter is 0.3%.
When using a hard steel wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm, the thickness of the chromium carbide layer 2 must be 5 to 13 μm, and when using a hard steel wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm, the thickness of the chromium carbide layer 2 must be 5 to 13 μm.
It is necessary to make it ~10 μm.

In addition, when the layer thickness of the chromium carbide layer 2 is formed to be thicker than the above-mentioned layer thickness, the carbon content in the wire 1 becomes 0.6 weight percent or less.
It was confirmed that a ferrite phase was precipitated in the structure within the wire 1 after the quenching and tempering treatment, and that sufficient hardness could not be obtained.

Furthermore, if the chromium carbide layer is formed to be thinner than the above-mentioned layer thickness, the carbon content in the wire 1 will be 1.0% by weight or more, so the structure in the wire 1 after quenching and tempering will change. It was confirmed that mesh-like carbides were precipitated in the wire, and the base material of the wire 1 itself became brittle, making it impossible to obtain the desired toughness.

As can be seen, the printing wire according to the present invention has a durability of about 250,000,000 dots at the center of the tip, although wear progresses faster at the corner portion of the tip than at the center of the tip. Compared to the practical wear limit of 100μ, it has shown durability of over 300 million dots. It is also recognized that the printing wire according to the present invention has superior durability compared to the printing wire made of high-speed tool steel, and is significantly superior at the level of 200 million dots or less.
