In the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-90484, although cracking and static torsional strength are mentioned, no consideration is given to torsional fatigue strength. Also, JP-A-8-
In the technique described in Japanese Patent No. 253842, static torsional strength and torsional fatigue strength are mentioned, but consideration is not given to quenching crack resistance during induction hardening, which is important as a member for machine structures. According to the study of the present inventors,

It has been found that increasing the Al content is extremely effective in improving both. This is because the Al content increases due to the increase in Al content, the austenite grains become finer during induction quenching heating, and the structure of the quenched hardened layer becomes finer. Increases, the amount of segregation of P, S, Cu, O causing grain boundary embrittlement decreases at the grain boundaries, and the resistance to sintering cracks improves. O is fixed as Al 2 O 3 , causing grain boundary embrittlement. Reduces the amount of oxygen, improves torsional strength and torsional fatigue strength. Fixes N as AlN, reduces the amount of Ti added for N fixation, and as a result, adversely affects torsional fatigue strength.
It is presumed that this is because N can be reduced, torsional fatigue strength can be improved, and a decrease in toughness can be prevented.

ことから、Ｃは0.45〜0.70％の範囲に限定した。First, the reasons for limiting the composition of the steel of the present invention will be described. C: 0.45 to 0.70% C is an element that has the greatest effect on induction hardening, and increases the hardness and depth of the hardened hardened layer and improves the torsional strength. However, if it is less than 0.45%, the hardness of the quench hardened layer is low, and it is necessary to dramatically increase the quench hardening depth to obtain the required torsional strength. The occurrence of is remarkable. On the other hand, when the content exceeds 0.70%, the machinability and the cold forgeability deteriorate, and brittle fracture occurs during the torsional test, so that the torsional strength decreases and the sintering crack resistance also decreases. For these reasons, C is limited to the range of 0.45 to 0.70%.

Such an effect is observed when the content is 0.01% or more. However, when the content exceeds 0.4%, the hardness increases due to solid solution hardening of the ferrite, and the machinability and the cold forgeability decrease. For this reason, Si was limited to the range of 0.01 to 0.40%. In addition, Preferably, it is the range of 0.01 to 0.30%.

％である。Mn: 0.2 to 2.5% Mn is an element which improves the hardenability and deepens the hardening depth during induction hardening, but its effect is small when added less than 0.2%. On the other hand, the addition exceeding 2.5% increases the retained austenite during induction hardening,
Decreases surface hardness. For this reason, torsional strength and torsional fatigue strength decrease. Therefore, Mn is 0.2 ~

ので、0.020 ％を上限とした。P: not more than 0.020% P segregates at austenite grain boundaries, reduces grain boundary strength, reduces torsional strength and torsional fatigue strength, and promotes quenching cracking. For this reason, it is desirable to reduce the P content as much as possible. However, since the P content is acceptable up to 0.020%, the upper limit is made 0.020%.

If added in excess of 06%, segregation occurs at the grain boundaries and the grain boundary strength decreases. Therefore, the upper limit of S is set to 0.06%. In addition, it is preferably 0.01 to 0.04%. Al: more than 0.05 to 0.25% Al is an important element in the present invention and is positively added. Al
Acts as a deoxidizing element for lowering oxygen, and N
To form AlN and suppress the growth of austenite grains during induction quenching heating, thereby improving torsional strength and torsional fatigue strength. If the content is 0.05% or less, the above-described effect is small. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 0.25%, the effect is saturated and the cost is increased. In addition, from a point of cost, it is preferably 0.05 to 0.10%.

ある。N: 0.0020 to 0.025% N combines with Al to form AlN, suppresses the growth of austenite grains during induction hardening heating, and improves torsional strength and torsional fatigue strength. If it is less than 0.0020%, this effect is not recognized, while if it exceeds 0.025%, the hot deformability is reduced and the surface defects of the slab are significantly increased during continuous casting. For this reason, N is limited to the range of 0.0020 to 0.025%. Incidentally, the content is preferably in the range of 0.0030 to 0.010%.

Further, an increase in the amount of O coarsens oxide-based nonmetallic inclusions. The coarser oxide-based nonmetallic inclusions reduce the torsional fatigue strength, so it is desirable to reduce as much as possible.
Up to 0.0020% is acceptable. Because of this, O

In addition, B preferentially segregates at the grain boundaries, has the effect of reducing the grain boundary concentration of P, which tends to segregate at the grain boundaries, and increasing the grain boundary strength. In the present invention, since the increase in torsional strength due to the increase in the quenching depth and the increase in torsional strength and torsional fatigue strength due to the increase in the grain boundary strength can be expected. Less than 0.0003% has little effect, and 0.0060%

If less than 0.005% is added, the effect is not observed. On the other hand, TiN formed by combining Ti and N
Becomes the starting point of fatigue fracture and lowers the torsional fatigue strength. If more than 0.05% of Ti is added, a large amount of TiN is formed, and the torsional fatigue strength is significantly reduced. For this reason, Ti

It can be added to adjust the hardenability of steel. Mo has the effect of reducing impurity elements such as P segregated at the grain boundaries, increasing the grain boundary strength, and suppressing grain boundary destruction. Mo improves torsional strength and torsional fatigue strength by these actions. If less than 0.05% is added, the effect is not recognized. On the other hand, if it is added in excess of 1.0%, carbides that are difficult to dissolve in austenite by short-time heating such as high-frequency heating are formed, and the torsional fatigue strength deteriorates. For this reason, Mo was limited to the range of 0.05 to 1.0%.

However, Cr is an expensive element, and it is economically disadvantageous to add more than 1.0%. Cu: 1.0% or less Cu is an element that improves hardenability and can be added to adjust the hardenability of steel. Further, Cu forms a solid solution or precipitates in the matrix to increase the strength of the steel and increase the torsional strength. However, if added in excess of 1.0%, the hot workability deteriorates, so Cu was limited to 1.0% or less.
