By the CaO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 based oxide inclusions is generated in the steel, has been to form a tool protective film of oxide to improve machinability. Such CaO-Al
Since O of 0.007, preferably 0.01% or more was required to generate 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based oxide inclusions, the cleanliness and strength of steel were often poor. This is because O combines with Ca and then with Al from the viewpoint of oxide formation energy. Therefore, CaO-Al

Form of inclusions: Alumina-based oxides are very hard, and are known to promote tool wear when they come into direct contact with the tool. By including CaO in this oxide, the oxide itself can be softened. For this purpose, at least an oxide mainly composed of alumina is converted to C
aO--6Al is necessary to the 2 O 3 or more low melting point oxide containing CaO, shall the ratio of CaO to at least 8%. Also excessive CaO reversed so cause hardening of the oxide must be a 3CaO-Al 2 O 3 less CaO content must the ratio of CaO below 62%. On the other hand, ordinary manganese sulfide expands very well during plastic working such as forging and rolling, and promotes anisotropy in mechanical properties of steel. The manganese sulfide is reduced in extensibility by adding 1% or more of Ca to the manganese sulfide to limit the extensibility. In addition, when accurately evaluating anisotropy, when a spindle-shaped manganese sulfide having a major axis / minor axis ratio of 5 or less is used, the anisotropy of mechanical properties of steel is reduced. Further, the relatively hard oxide wraps the relatively soft sulfide, thereby reducing tool wear.

The value indicating the largest CaO ratio (percentage) among the measured values of the oxides is CaO-O in Tables 1 and 2, and the value indicating the largest Ca ratio (percentage) among the measured values of the sulfides In Tables 1 and 2

In order to evaluate the drilling workability, a life test using a high speed drill was performed. Table 4 shows the cutting conditions. The drill life was defined as the number of processed holes up to the breakage of the drill.

As the manufacturability, castability and rollability were evaluated. The case where the casting of the entire 5-ton molten steel was not completed in two 2.5-ton ingots was regarded as poor productivity. Further, even when casting is completed, in the process of rolling into a round bar having a diameter of 100 mm, the case where a defect due to an external flaw of 10% or more occurs is considered to be slightly poor in productivity, and the case where a defect due to an external flaw of 20% or more occurs. Was evaluated as poor in productivity.

As shown in Tables 1 and 5, the steel of the present invention of A has a drill life of at least 14 or more. On the other hand, a1 is C
Drill life is short due to hardness increase and toughness deterioration because the component exceeds the specified range. In a2, since the Mn component is less than the specified range, a sufficient amount of sulfide is not generated and the drill life is short.
In a3, since the Mn component exceeds the specified range, the drill life is short due to an increase in hardness. In the case of a4 and a5, the drill life is about the same as that of the developed steel. However, in the case of a4, the mechanical properties are greatly deteriorated due to excessive S, and it is difficult to continue casting for a long time due to precipitation of CaS during casting. In a5, it is difficult to continue casting for a long time due to precipitation of Al 2 O 3 during casting. For a6 to a9, since the Al and Ca components are out of the specified ranges, the CaO and Ca ratios in the inclusions become small and the drill life is short.
