This work aims at the development of low-carbon steel SAE 1006 through the microalloying addition of boron. Boron as alloying element is added in small amount, but it has significant effect on changes of properties of this kind of steel. The research is based on mechanical and microstructural testing of final product (wire) from the aspect of the influence of boron during hot rolling of billets into wire. It is presented the technology of continuous casting and the process of hot rolling of wire for six heats based on low-carbon steel grades SAE 1006 with and without boron addition at the company ArcelorMittal in Zenica The results showed that the addition of boron up to 0.01% can improve steel properties especialy drawability.
