* Remark: The unit of each metal component is% by weight, and the balance is the content of Fe (Fe) contained in the alloy.
Here, the carbon (C) is effective for improving the strength of the wire, but the carbon (C) has a composition ratio of 0.01-0.15 wt.
The manganese (Mn) has a composition ratio of 1.20-1.80% by weight. The pearlite of the wire is finer and the ferrite is solid-strengthened to improve the yield strength of the carbon steel.
The chromium (Cr) improves the incombustibility of the wire, increases the resistance to tempering to improve the strength, and has a composition ratio of 0.50-0.70 wt%.
The boron (B) is a strong incombustibility improving element, which can improve the strength of the material after heat treatment by improving the ingot property even with a small amount of the boron (B), and has a composition ratio of 0.001-0.004 wt%.
The niobium (Nb) is a strong grain microfine element and can be added to the alloy at a composition ratio of 0.015-0.035% by weight because it can contribute to the strength enhancement by increasing the grain coarsening temperature.
Since the aluminum (Al) precipitates fine and is effective in refining the grain of the steel, it can improve the strength of the material and is incorporated into the alloy at a composition ratio of 0.025-0.045 wt%.
Silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and nickel (Ni) used in the alloy of the wire of the present invention are the same as those of the conventional wire shown in Table 1, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
