摘要:
A method is directed to a production of a bearing device for a wheel including an inner member (1) and an outer member (2) rotatable relative to each other through a plurality of rolling elements (3), in which a component part forming one of the inner member (1) and the outer member (2) is a hot forged product. In the practice of this method, during or at the end of a hot forging step for hot forging the component part, a portion of the component part is cooled by spraying a coolant or by controlling an atmospheric temperature, to thereby render a matrix of the component part to represent a standard structure and render a surface portion of the component part to represent a non-standard structure (30).
摘要:
A hot forged product including hardened areas introduced by partial cooling after hot forging, and unhardened areas, wherein Vickers hardness V1 of the hardened areas on the surface and Vickers hardness V2 of the unhardened areas satisfy the following formula (1): (V1−V2)/V2: 0.1 to 0.8.

A steel for machine structural use with a better strength-ductility-toughness balance than maraging steel and applications thereof are provided. The steel for machine structural use with excellent strength, ductility, and toughness contains, in percent by mass, more than 0.30% to 0.5% of carbon, 1.0% or less of silicon, 1.5% or less of manganese, 0.025% or less of aluminum, 0.3% to 0.5% of molybdenum, and 0.0005% to 0.01% of boron, and the balance is iron and incidental impurities. The steel has a structure including at least 90% by volume of martensitic structure. The martensitic structure includes blocks having a size of 1.5 μm or less. Dissolved boron is contained in an amount of at least 0.0005% and is present at boundaries of prior austenite grains in a concentration at least 1.5 times that in the prior austenite grains.
