摘要:
A method for producing a carbonitrided member comprising the steps of carburizing a steel part having a composition of, by mass percent, C: 0.10 to 0.35%, Si: 0.15 to 1.0%, Mn: 0.30 to 1.0%, Cr: 0.40 to 2.0%, S: 0.05% or less with the balance being Fe and impurities in a carburizing atmosphere of 900 to 950° C. The carburized steel part is carbonitrided in a carbonitriding atmosphere with the temperature of 800 to 900° C. and the nitrogen potential of 0.2 to 0.6%. The carbonitrided steel part is qhenched and then shot peened. The shot peening treatment may be further performed while heating to a temperature not higher than 350° C. or immediately after heating to a temperature not higher than 350° C. After quenching, the shot peening treatment may be further performed after tempering in the temperature range exceeding 250° C. and not higher than 350° C.
摘要:
The invention provides a carburized part which has excellent medium-cycle fatigue strength in particular subjected to surface-hardening treatment by carburization. The invention provides a carburized part including a carburized layer formed by performing carburizing treatment to a steel, the steel including, in terms of % by mass: 0.15% to 0.25% of C, 0.15% or less of Si, 0.4% to 1.1% of Mn, 0.8% to 1.4% of Cr, 0.25% to 0.55% of Mo, 0.015% or less of P, and 0.035% or less of S, with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities, and the steel satisfying the following relation; 0.10≦[Mo]/(10[Si]+[Mn]+[Cr])≦0.40, in which [M] represents a content of element M in terms of % by mass.
