Provided is high strength steel for springs that, compared to conventional high strength steel for springs, has excellent decarburization resistance and scale exfoliation property, by optimization of the added amounts of C, Si, Mn, and Cr as well as of Sb and Sn. The steel for springs contains C: more than 0.45 mass% and less than 0.65 mass%, Si: 0.15 mass% or more and 0.70 mass% or less, Mn: 0.10 mass% or more and 1.00 mass% or less, Cr: 0.20 mass% or more and 1.50 mass% or less, P: 0.025 mass% or less, S: 0.025 mass% or less, O: 0.0015 mass% or less, Sb: 0.010 mass% or more and less than 0.030 mass%, and Sn: 0.010 mass% or more and 0.030 mass% or less, under predetermined conditions.

The invention provides a high-strength pearlitic steel rail, which is inexpensive, and has a tensile strength of 1200 MPa or more, and is excellent in delayed fracture properties. Specifically, the rail contains, in mass percent, C of 0.6 to 1.0%, Si of 0.1 to 1.5%, Mn of 0.4 to 2.0%, P of 0.035% or less, S of 0.0005 to 0.010%, and the remainder is Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein tensile strength is 1200 MPa or more, and size of a long side of an A type inclusion is 250 µm or less in at least a cross-section in a longitudinal direction of a rail head, and the number of A type inclusions, each having a size of a long side of 1 µm to 250 µm, is less than 25 per observed area of 1 mm 2 in the cross-section in the longitudinal direction of the rail head.

A method is provided with which a bearing steel, even when obtained from an ingot, is made to have a segregation part reduced in the degree of segregation and maximum inclusion diameter. The ingot contains 0.56-0.70 mass% C, 0.15-0.50 mass%, excluding 0.50 mass%, Si, 0.60-1.50 mass% Mn, 0.50-1.10 mass% Cr, 0.05-0.5 mass% Mo, up to 0.025 mass% P, up to 0.025 mass% S, 0.005-0.500 mass% Al, up to 0.0015 mass% O, and 0.0030-0.015 mass% N, with the remainder comprising Fe and incidental impurities. The ingot has a degree of segregation of 2.8 or less and a predicted value of the maximum diameter of inclusions present in 30,000 mm 2 of the ingot, as calculated by extreme value statistics, of 60 µm or less.
