Abstract
A steel wire rod which is a material of steel wires includes, as a metallographic structure, by area %, 95% to 100% of a pearlite, wherein an average pearlite block size at a central portion of the steel wire rod is 1 μm to 25 μm, an average pearlite block size at a surface layer portion of the steel wire rod is 1 μm to 20 μm, and, when a minimum lamellar spacing of the pearlite at the central portion of the steel wire rod is S in unit of nm and when a distance from a peripheral surface of the steel wire rod to a center is r in unit of mm, S<12r+65 is satisfied.
