Abstract:
A method for producing a stainless steel wire, comprising the steps of:plating nickel having a thickness in the range of 1 .mu.m to 5 .mu.m on a stainless steel core wire comprising carbon (C) in an amount of not more than 0.15% by weight, silicon (Si) in an amount of not more than 1.00% by weight, manganese (Mn) in an amount of not more than 2.00%, nickel (Ni) in an amount of from not less than 6.50% by weight to less than 14.00% by weight and chromium (Cr) in an amount of from not less than 17.00% by weight to less than 20.00% by weight;generating an inorganic salt coat film comprising at least one of potassium sulfate and borax (borate) and free from chlorine (Cl) and fluorine (F) from an aqueous solution to be deposited on said nickel plate layer; anddrawing said wire to a reduction of area of not less than 60%.
