Enriched Si has also realized thinner spring wire and application for engine valve springs. We have already reported on heat-resistance mechanism in the wire, which was improved by Si solid solution strengthening and strain relaxation resulting from high-temperature annealing. This report describes a minute analysis on the reaction of cementite in heat-treated hard-drawn steel wire, which wasn’t covered in our previous report . The reaction was examined by microstructural observation w ith transmission electron microscopy and crystalline states quantitatively evaluated by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction measurement . This study has revealed that with conventional wire equivalent to piano wire B (J IS SW P-B), st rain created in w iredraw ing process is relaxed under heat t reatment and the cement ite starts spheroidizing at 350 to 400 degrees Celsius. With our Si-enriched wire, however, cementite didn’t start spheroidizing below approximately 450 degrees Celsius, maintaining lamellar structure compromised of 10-nm-order microcrystal. Thus, along with our previous report , this paper demonstrates the advantages of Si-enriched hard-drawn wire from microstructural perspectives. Keywords: transmission electron microsco
