2. Description of the Related Art Most of automotive and industrial machine parts are used after hot working bar stock, then quenching and tempering treatment (tempering treatment) to refine the structure and increase strength and toughness. In recent years, in order to reduce costs, mechanical parts used without the tempering treatment, that is, non-heat-treated steel for hot forging (hereinafter simply referred to as non-heat-treated steel) parts have rapidly become widespread.

Research has been conducted on high-strength non-heat treated steels of Pa or higher, but especially for automobile parts and the like whose shape is becoming more complicated in recent years.

However, it is difficult to say that sufficient research has been made on non-heat treated steel having a bainite structure. For example, in general, a hot-forged bainite type non-refined product is not sufficiently timed to pass through the bainite transformation temperature range during air cooling after hot forging.
Austenite that cannot be transformed is stored to room temperature, and the austenite structure remains in the bainite structure.

[0006] Due to the presence of this soft retained austenite, the yield strength and toughness of hot forged steel are low, which is a disadvantage of bainite non-heat treated steel. Conventionally, tempering is performed to decompose the austenite structure. However, there was no effective means for improving the yield strength and toughness in the hot forged state.

On the other hand, shafts are used after hardening the surface layer by induction hardening, and in order to obtain sufficient hardness by induction hardening, 0.3% or more of carbon is required.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Tempering has heretofore been performed to increase the yield strength of bainite non-refined products and toughness as measured primarily by impact value. Tempering is considered to have the effect of decomposing the retained austenite to strengthen the steel. Therefore, a method of increasing the yield strength and toughness is considered to combine a component that does not generate retained austenite and a cooling method. However, any component may be 1000 MPa or more as hot forged. When the components are adjusted to the above values, it is difficult to eliminate the residual austenite from the structure as hot forged.

Further, the reduction of the retained austenite by the controlled cooling causes a significant increase in cost even if it is possible. However, when the present inventors examined in detail, the yield strength and toughness were greatly affected by not only the total amount of retained austenite but also its distribution, and even if the total amount of austenite was equal to that of conventional steel, it was finely dispersed in the bainite structure. If so, the yield strength and toughness were found to be improved.

However, improvement of the yield strength is not recognized. Has been described. It is considered that the steel components reported in this report are due to insufficient fine dispersion of the reheated austenite structure, bainite lath structure and retained austenite structure.

Combination of n, Cr, V, and dispersion of nitride of Ti, Al. Conventionally, it has been thought that an increase in the amount of added carbon lowers the yield strength and toughness.
By increasing the content to more than 3%, the austenite remaining near the prior austenite grain boundary becomes fine, and the bainite lath structure can be easily and very finely divided.

% Or less, the structure as hot forged and the fine dispersion of retained austenite become insufficient, and the yield strength and toughness decrease. Also, at 0.30% or less, 1000M
In order to achieve a tensile strength of Pa or more, a large amount of alloy is required, which increases the cost and shortens the life of the forging die to increase deformation resistance during hot forging. Further, if it is 0.30% or less, the surface hardness after induction hardening is lower than normally required, and is not practical for induction hardening. On the other hand, when the content exceeds 0.60%, the yield strength is rather lowered, and the ferrite and the pearlite structure are liable to be transformed during forged cooling.

If it exceeds 00%, the martensite is transformed and becomes harder than necessary, thereby reducing toughness and machinability.

In order to adjust the tensile strength of the steel after tempering in a hot forged non-tempered state, the present inventors heated and allowed the steel of various components to be heated to a high temperature, assuming hot forging. Tensile properties and microstructure were examined. The test was performed by heating the steel at 1500 K for 300 seconds and then cooling it at a cooling rate of 1.0 K / S. When the relationship between the tensile strength and the alloy component was examined from the test results, the following Expressions 5 and 6 were obtained.

The steel of the present invention is subjected to aging after hot forging to thereby improve the toughness measured by yield strength and impact value mainly through decomposition of soft retained austenite contained in bainite steel or tempering martensite. Can be further enhanced. In order to expect these effects of aging, it is efficient to age at 550 K or more after forging. If the aging temperature is lower than 550K, the yield strength cannot be increased or a long time is required.

In general, the tensile strength and hardness after aging at 900 K or lower are slightly lower than those at the time of cooling, and thus there is an advantage that cutting can be easily performed. However, when the temperature exceeds 900 K, the tensile strength is significantly reduced and is not practical. When a relatively high aging temperature is employed, a reduction in tensile strength can be prevented by adding an appropriate amount of the age hardening elements V and Nb.
