Abstract

Disclosed are a method for manufacturing a nonmagnetic high-nitrogen steel wire, and an overhead power line adopting the high-nitrogen steel wire as the core thereof. According to one embodiment, the method for manufacturing high-nitrogen steel wire comprises the steps of injecting argon (Ar) gas to reach atmospheric pressure after having first adjusted the pressure to 6×10⁻⁵ torr for an initial vacuum using a pressurized vacuum induction melting (VIM) furnace; and injecting nitrogen gas to reach a pressure of 2 atmospheres after having first adjusted the pressure to 6×10⁻⁵ torr for a second vacuum, and melting a nitrogen steel alloy consisting of 25 to 35 wt % of Mn, 25 to 35 wt % of Cr, 10 to 20 wt % of Ni, 0.5 to 1.0 wt % of C, and 20 to 35 wt % of Fe, which are alloy elements constituting nitrogen steel. The high-nitrogen steel wire manufactured in this manner has a nitrogen content ratio higher than 12,000 ppm, excellent mechanical strength, and nonmagnetic characteristics. By using this high-nitrogen steel wire, an overhead aluminum power line with a nonmagnetic steel core for reducing power loss and increasing power transmission capacity can be provided.
