(Prior Art) There are hot forging, normalizing, cutting finish, and carburizing as the processing steps of parts made of case hardening steel. That is, when forming by hot forging, the heating temperature is about 1200 ° C., the grain size is large, and the hardness after forging is high, resulting in poor machinability. Therefore, generally, after hot forging, normalization is performed to refine the structure and reduce hardness to perform cutting.

However, performing such heat treatment (normalization) complicates the manufacturing process, increases thermal energy, and raises the cost, so in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 61-54844, at least one of Ti, Zr, and Hf is contained. We are trying to make the crystal grains finer.

Further, since the case-hardening steel is processed into the final shape, it is heated at about 920 ° C. for several hours to be carburized, so that the grain size tends to be large. Much research has been done on this, and Al, N
Precipitates such as b and Ti are used to prevent the coarsening of crystal grains, and in JP-B-61-54844, Ti is used to deal with the problem.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Since the crystal grain coarsening prevention technique using the above-described precipitates has a large heating temperature difference between hot forging and carburizing, the same precipitates prevent crystal grain coarsening. Is difficult to achieve.

Further, according to Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 61-54844, reduction of hardness or improvement of machinability, which is the original purpose of normalizing, is not necessarily effectively obtained.

Therefore, a case-hardening steel that avoids the complexity and cost increase of the manufacturing process, has good machinability, and does not cause crystal grain coarsening during carburizing treatment has not yet been obtained.

D I : 85 to 90 mm The quenching index D I is specified because if it is 85 mm or less, the hardenability is too low and incomplete quenching easily occurs, while if it is 90 mm or more, the hardness after hot forging is too high. It adversely affects machinability. Therefore, it should be 85 mm or more and 90 mm or less.

The microstructure of Ti-added steel is ferrite / pearlite, and the microstructure of Ti-free steel is It is known that ferrite and bainite become fine-grained by the addition of Ti and the hardenability deteriorates, making it difficult to form bainite.

That is, according to the results of Table 2, the steels 1 to 3 of the present invention according to the present invention have good machinability in the as-hot-forged state and have a high crystal grain coarsening temperature during carburization. . On the other hand, Comparative Steel 1 has a high D I value without Ti addition, has a high hardness after forging, and has poor machinability. Comparative steel 2
Has good machinability after forging, but has a low D I value and cannot obtain strength after carburization. Further, in Comparative Steel 3, since the amount of Ti added was too large and the Al / N * was 2.8 or more, the machinability was poor and the crystal grain coarsening temperature after carburization was low. However, Comparative Steel 4 is Al
Since / N * is 1.6 or less, the crystal grain coarsening temperature after carburization is low. Further, Comparative Steel 5 has a low S content, and therefore has poor machinability. Comparative Steel 6 was normalized with normal SCM420, and has good machinability, but if it is forged, the hardness becomes too high and the machinability deteriorates.
