BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing various forgings used for automobiles and various industrial machines, and more particularly, to a method for producing a forged product having a tensile strength exceeding 785 N / mm 2 and an austenite grain size number of 5 or more. The present invention relates to a method for efficiently manufacturing a forged part made of B-containing steel.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, after cold forging steel for forged parts,
By applying quenching and annealing treatment, the tensile strength is 785
In manufacturing a forged part having a high strength level exceeding N / mm 2 , it is necessary to perform a spheroidizing annealing treatment as a heat treatment before cold forging. However, since the spheroidizing annealing requires a long-time heat treatment, simplification or omission of the heat treatment is desired from the viewpoint of cost reduction and energy saving.

[0003] Therefore, by using B-added steel as a steel material, hardenability is maintained without deteriorating cold forgeability, and cost reduction in manufacturing forged parts is attempted. However, this B-added steel has a problem that the grain size of austenite tends to become coarse during quenching and heating. Therefore, for the purpose of suppressing the austenite grain size from becoming coarse, various methods have been proposed in which the heating rate is controlled particularly during quenching heating.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-79116 discloses a method in which the heating rate during quenching is 3 to 50 ° C./sec.
Unlike the usual heating rate (0.5 ° C./sec or less) at the time of quenching of parts, a rapid heating treatment is required, and there is a problem that the applicable range is limited.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-13768 discloses a method in which the heating rate during quenching is set to 3 ° C./min or less, but the heating means is based on an induction heating method and ordinary quenching and annealing of parts is performed. There is an inconvenience that electric furnace heating frequently used in processing is difficult to use. Furthermore, according to this method, in order to adjust the grain size of austenite, it is premised that hot working or heat treatment at 950 ° C. or more and 1000 ° C. or less is performed before quenching the steel, which makes the process complicated. There are also problems such as an increase in cost.

The reasons for limiting the composition of each component in the B-containing steel of the present invention are as follows. C: 0.15 to 0.35% C is an element useful for ensuring the hardenability and strength of steel.
The tensile strength is 785 by quenching and annealing treatment as in the present invention.
In order to obtain a high strength level of N / mm 2 or more, it is necessary to add 0.15% or more. The preferred lower limit is
0.20%, and more preferably 0.22%. on the other hand,
As the addition amount of C increases, the cold forgeability is hindered,
Since it is difficult to simplify or omit the spheroidizing annealing, which is the heat treatment before forging, the upper limit is set to 0.35%. A preferred upper limit is 0.30%, and more preferred is
0.27%.

Si: 0.25% or less (excluding 0%) Si is a useful element as a deoxidizing agent, and a preferable lower limit is 0.05%. However, as the amount of addition increases, the deformation resistance during cold forging increases. Therefore, the upper limit is set to 0.25%. A preferred upper limit is 0.09%, and a more preferred value is 0.05%.

Mn: 0.30-1.50% Mn is used as a hardenability improving element, is useful for imparting high strength, and also acts as a deoxidizing agent. In order to effectively exert such an effect, it is necessary to add 0.30% or more, and the lower limit is preferably 0.40%, more preferably 0.50%. However, if the added amount of Mn is too large, a supercooled structure is formed after rolling, which causes an increase in deformation resistance at the time of cold forging and a reduction in the life of the forging tool. A preferred upper limit is 1.20%, and more preferred is
1.00%.

Al: 0.02 to 0.04% Al is used as a deoxidizing agent, but it also improves the delayed fracture resistance by fixing Al in the steel to form AlN and refining the crystal grains. It is a contributing element. To exert such an effect effectively, it is necessary to add 0.02% or more. A preferred lower limit is 0.025%, and a more preferred value is 0.027%. However, if the content is too large, the deformability during cold forging decreases due to the formation of oxide-based inclusions, so the upper limit was made 0.04%. A preferred upper limit is 0.035%, more preferably 0.032%.

The formation of N is very useful for miniaturization of the crystal grains, whereby the delayed fracture resistance, which is a required function of the bolt, can be improved. In order to exert such effects effectively
Addition of 0.015% or more is required. The preferred lower limit is 0.

N: 0.003 to 0.01% N is an element that contributes to the improvement of delayed fracture resistance and the like by refining crystal grains by forming AlN and TiN. In order to effectively exert such an effect, it is necessary to add 0.003% or more. A preferred lower limit is 0.0035%, more preferably 0.004%. However, if it is too much, not all can be trapped even by the addition of Al or Ti, and excess N forms BN, and the quenching improvement effect by B cannot be ensured, and the amount of solute N increases. This impairs delayed fracture resistance. The preferred upper limit is 0.00

Thereafter, an annealing treatment of heating at 680 ° C. for 3 hours followed by air cooling was performed, and the wire was drawn to 9.85 mmφ. At that time, in order to evaluate the cold forgeability, a part of the wire after cold forging was used to examine the deformation resistance at the time of 60% compression working by an end face constraint compression test method. On the other hand, using the wire rod after wire drawing, M
Ten volts were made. Then, after heating to 900 ° C. at the heating rates shown in Tables 1 and 2 and holding for 1 hour,
The austenite grain size was measured according to the quenching and tempering method of IS G0551. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.
