Abstract

The purposes of the present inventions are to provide a raw material for shot-peening materials wherein breaking a wire is prevented in obtaining a finished wire to improve the productivity, to provide a finished wire and a method of manufacturing shot-peening materials by which productivity is improved, and to provide shot-peening materials that are manufactured by that method. The finished wire, of which the area of carbides with a particle size of 2 μm or less is 80% or more of the total area, is manufactured by the steps of wiredrawing a raw material to obtain a wire, and repeatedly annealing and cold-drawing the wire. The raw material for the shot-peening materials comprises, by mass %, 0.95-1.10% carbon, 0.15-0.30% silicon, 0.40% or less manganese, 0.020% or less phosphorus, 0.010% or less sulfur, 1.40-1.60% chromium, 0.0015% or less oxygen, and the remaining materials of iron and unavoidable impurities. The method of manufacturing the shot-peening materials uses that raw material. The shot-peening materials are manufactured by that method.
