Abstract

The very thin, high carbon wire is 0.05 to 0.50 mm in diameter and comprises, in mass %, 0.90-1.20% of C, 0.05-1.2% of Si, 0.2-1.0% of Mn, and 0.0050% or less of N, with the balance being iron and impurities. In a differential scanning thermal analysis curve A of the steel wire, the steel wire has an exothermic peak X in the temperature range of 60° to 130° C., and a maximum height h of the exothermic peak X relative to a reference line Y joining the point of 60° C. and the point of 130° C. in the differential scanning thermal analysis curve is set at 5 μW/mg or more. The very thin, high carbon steel wire is free of delamination in high-speed stranding and superior in both strength and ductility.
