High-strength wire rod having high hydrogen embrittlement resistance for cold heading, and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

Provided are a high-strength wire rod having high hydrogen embrittlement resistance for cold heading, and a method for manufacturing the high-strength wire rod. The high-strength wire rod for cold heading has a chemical composition including, by weight %, C: 0.3% to 0.5%, Si: 0.01% to 0.3%, Mn: 0.3% to 1.0%, Cr: 0.5% to 1.5%, Mo: 0.5% to 1.5%, V: 0.01% to 0.4%, and a balance of Fe and other impurities, and the chemical composition satisfies the relational expression 1. The high-strength wire rod for cold heading has a microstructure including, by area %, 1% to 15% martensite, 0.1% to 5% pearlite, and a balance of bainite, and the fraction of martensite formed along grain boundaries of prior austenite in the martensite of the microstructure is 60% or more.
