Abstract

A steel wire rod is obtained, in which a gas flow rate during gas stirring in molten steel treatment is controlled to be 0.0005 Nm3/min to 0.004 Nm3/min per molten steel of 1 ton, thereby the rod satisfies a specified composition, and oxide base inclusions in any section including an axis line of the steel wire rod satisfy the following composition X, the inclusions having width of 2 μm or more perpendicular to a rolling direction, wherein the number of the oxide base inclusions of the following composition A is 1 to 20, and the number of the oxide base inclusions of the following composition B is less than 1: In the steel wire rod, drawability and fatigue properties are improved to the utmost.
