摘要:
The present invention provides a steel for nitrocarburizing having excellent mechanical workability before nitrocarburizing, and showing excellent fatigue properties after nitrocarburizing, which is suitable for applying in mechanical structural components for automobiles etc. prepared by adjusting the composition so that it contains in mass%, C: 0.01 % or more and less than 0.10 %, Si: 1.0 % or less, Mn: 0.5 % to 3.0 %, P: 0.02 % or less, S: 0.06 % or less, Cr: 0.3 % to 3.0 %, Mo: 0.005 % to 0.4 %, V: 0.02 % to 0.5 %, Nb: 0.003 % to 0.15 %, Al: 0.005 % to 0.2 %, and Sb: 0.0005 % to 0.02 %, and the balance including Fe and incidental impurities, and setting the area ratio of bainite phase to the whole microstructure to more than 50 %.
摘要:
According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain steel for nitrocarburizing having a predetermined chemical composition, a bainite area ratio exceeding 50 % and excellent machinability by cutting before nitrocarburizing, and having strength and toughness equivalent to conventional steel, such as SCr420 carburized steel material, and excellent fatigue properties after nitrocarburizing.
摘要:
A steel has a predetermined chemical composition with a balance being Fe and incidental impurities, wherein a sum of Cu content and Ni content is 0.15 mass% or more, and a crystal grain size after forming into a stabilizer shape and quenching is in a range of 7.5 to 10.5 in prior austenite crystal grain size number. Thus, a highly durable stabilizer steel that has a tensile strength of 1200 MPa or more and excellent normal-temperature and low-temperature toughness and is used in an environmentally friendly manufacturing process at lower cost can be realized.
