Abstract

High strength low carbon steel wire rods excellent in the cold drawing property have a composite structure in which an acicular low temperature transformation phase comprising a martensite, bainite and/or the mixed structure thereof that comprises, by weight %, PA0 C: 0.02-0.30%, PA0 Si: less than 2.5%, PA0 Mn: less than 2.5% and the balance of iron and inevitable impurities and that may partially contain retained austenite is uniformly dispersed at the volume ratio of from 10 to 70% in the ferrite phase, and in which the weight of (C+N) in solution in the ferrite phase is less than 40 ppm.
