Carbon steel for mechanical structures such as 8CO, 75Mn) was used.
しかし、これらの鋼は、軟窒化処理後の有効硬化深度（

利用できなかった。However, these steels have a low effective hardening depth (
The distance from the surface corresponding to minute Vickers hardness Hv = 300) is shallow at about 0.10 mm, and the surface hardness (distance from the surface corresponding to the
The microscopic Vickers hardness at 5 μm) is not so hard as Hv=400, so when used as a crankshaft, the fatigue strength was insufficient, and it could not be used for high-output engines.

にはある程度満足できるものの、クランクシャフト用材
料として適用する場合には、次のような新たな問題かあ
る。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, conventional steels for soft nitriding such as JIS-3ACM 645 contain nitride-forming elements such as ACCr and V, and the hardening of the surface layer is significant, resulting in fatigue strength. Although it satisfies the demand for improvement to some extent, when applied as a material for crankshafts, the following new problems arise.
軟窒化用鋼によりクランクシャフトを製造する場合には

However, with the conventional steel for soft nitriding as described above, since the nitrided layer is highly hard, there is a problem that cracks occur in the nitrided layer on the crankshaft surface during bending straightening treatment (i.e., the bending straightening properties are poor). be.
このように従来の軟窒化用鋼には、疲労強度向上のため
に軟窒化処理をした場合に曲げ矯正性か低下してしまい
、自動車のクランクシャフト材料として不適当であると
いう問題がある。As described above, conventional steel for nitrocarburizing has a problem in that when subjected to nitrocarburizing treatment to improve fatigue strength, the bending straightening property deteriorates, making it unsuitable as a material for automobile crankshafts.
そこで本発明は上記問題点を解決し、疲労強度向上の目

（即ち、曲げ矯正性が優れている）軟窒化用鋼を提供す
ることを目的とする。Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems, and even when soft nitriding is performed for the purpose of improving fatigue strength, bending straightening is easy, and cracks do not occur in the nitrided layer during bending straightening (i.e., bending The purpose of the present invention is to provide a steel for nitrocarburizing (with excellent straightening properties).
（課題を解決するための手段及び作用）上記の問題点を

った。従って、Ｓｉは、疲労強度は若干低下させるもの
の、曲げ矯正性の改善には非常に有効な元素であるとい
える。(Means and effects for solving the problem) As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, it was found that an increase in Si reduces the surface hardness and hardening depth after soft-nitriding treatment. Therefore, it can be said that Si is a very effective element for improving bending straightening properties, although it slightly reduces fatigue strength.
そして、このようなＳｉの増加による疲労強度の低下は
、Ｃ及び窒化物を形成しない元素であるＭｎの増加によ
る小部硬さの向上により、補完できることか判明した。It has also been found that such a decrease in fatigue strength due to an increase in Si can be compensated for by improving small part hardness due to an increase in C and Mn, which is an element that does not form nitrides.
特に、Ｍｎは、窒化層の靭性を向上させることにより、
曲げ矯正性の改善にも有効であることも分かった。以上
の知見に基づき、従来にはない高Ｓｉ−高Ｍｎタイプの
軟窒化用鋼を開発するに至った。In particular, Mn improves the toughness of the nitride layer,
It was also found to be effective in improving bend straightening properties. Based on the above findings, we have developed an unprecedented high-Si-high-Mn type steel for soft nitriding.

Steel for soft nitriding containing one or more selected from the group consisting of 03 to 0.35% by weight, Ca: 0.0010 to 0.0100% by weight, and S: 0.04 to 0.13% by weight: No. A steel for soft nitriding in which the first steel for soft nitriding further contains not more than 0.0080% by weight of B in the second steel for soft nitriding.

本発明の軟窒化用鋼を構成する元素の組成を、上記の範
囲内に限定した理由は以下のとおりである。The reason why the composition of the elements constituting the steel for nitrocarburizing of the present invention is limited to within the above range is as follows.
Ｃは、Ｓｉの増加により低下した疲労強度を補うために
重要な元素である。Ｃの含有量を０．３５〜０．６５重
量％としたのは、０．３５重量％未満であると芯部硬さ
が低下し、全体の強度が低下するためてあり、０．６５
重量％を超えると靭性や加工性か低下するためである。C is an important element for compensating for fatigue strength decreased due to increase in Si. The reason for setting the C content to 0.35 to 0.65% by weight is that if it is less than 0.35% by weight, the core hardness will decrease and the overall strength will decrease.
This is because if it exceeds the weight percentage, toughness and workability will deteriorate.
好ましいＣの含有量は０．４５〜０．５８重量％である
。The preferred C content is 0.45 to 0.58% by weight.
Ｓｉは曲げ矯正性を確保するために重要な元素である。Si is an important element for ensuring bending straightening properties.
Ｓｌの含有量を０．３５〜２．００重量％としたのは、
０．３５重量％未満であると軟窒化処理後の曲げ矯正性
が悪く、２．００重量％を超えると疲労強度の低下が著
しく、また、靭性や加工性も低下するためである。好ま
しいＳｉの含有量は０．３５〜１．００重量％である。The reason for setting the Sl content to 0.35 to 2.00% by weight is because
If it is less than 0.35% by weight, the bending straightening properties after soft-nitriding treatment will be poor, and if it exceeds 2.00% by weight, the fatigue strength will be significantly lowered, and the toughness and workability will also be lowered. The preferred Si content is 0.35 to 1.00% by weight.
ＭｎはＳｉの増加により低下した疲労強度を補うために
重要な元素である。Ｍｎの含有量を０．８０〜２．５０
重量％とじたのは、０．８０重量％未満であると芯部硬
度や靭性が低下するためであり、２．５０重量％を超
えると加工性か低下するためである。Mn is an important element for compensating for fatigue strength decreased due to increase in Si. Mn content 0.80-2.50
The reason for limiting the weight percentage is that if it is less than 0.80 weight%, the core hardness and toughness will decrease, and if it exceeds 2.50 weight%.
This is because processability decreases if the temperature is increased.
好ましいＭｎの含有量は１．２０〜１．６０重量％であ
る。The preferred Mn content is 1.20 to 1.60% by weight.
Ｃｒの含有量を０．２０重量％以下としたのは、Ｃｒは
軟窒化処理時において侵入Ｎと結合し、表面硬さを高め
、硬化深さを大きくし疲労強度を向上させるという利点
かあるものの、０．２０重量♀６を超えて添加すると曲
げ矯正性の低下か著しいためである。好ましいＣｒの含
有量は０．１５重量％以下である。The reason why the Cr content is set to 0.20% by weight or less is that Cr combines with intruding N during soft-nitriding treatment, increases surface hardness, increases hardening depth, and improves fatigue strength. However, if it is added in an amount exceeding 0.20 wt.♀6, the bending straightening properties will be significantly reduced. The preferred Cr content is 0.15% by weight or less.
Ａｊ２の含有量を０．０３５重量％以下としたのはＣｒ
と同様の理由である。なお、Ａｌは溶融時において脱酸
剤としても作用する成分である。好ましいＡｌの含有量
は０．０２０重量％以下である。The content of Aj2 was set to 0.035% by weight or less because of Cr.
This is for the same reason. Note that Al is a component that also acts as a deoxidizing agent during melting. The preferred Al content is 0.020% by weight or less.
Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ及びＭｏは、軟窒化処理時において侵入Ｎと
結合することがないため、その添加により曲げ矯正性が
低下することはなく、一方で固溶強化により強度を向上
させる。Since Ni, Cu, and Mo do not combine with intruding N during the soft-nitriding treatment, their addition does not reduce bending straightening properties, and on the other hand, improves strength through solid solution strengthening.
Ｎｉの含有量を３．０重量％以下とし、Ｃｕの含有量を
１．０重量％以下とし、Ｍｏの含有量を０．５重量％以
下としたのは、いずれの元素も含有量の上限を超えると
加工性が低下するためである。好ましい含有量はＮｉが
１．５０重量％以下、Ｃｕか０．５０重量％以下、％ｉ
ｏか０．５０重量％以下である。The reason why the Ni content is 3.0% by weight or less, the Cu content is 1.0% by weight or less, and the Mo content is 0.5% by weight or less is because all of the elements have the upper limit of content. This is because if it exceeds this, workability will decrease. The preferable content is Ni: 1.50% by weight or less, Cu: 0.50% by weight or less, %i
0.50% by weight or less.
Ｐｂ、Ｃａ及びＳは、軟窒化処理時において侵入Ｎと結
合することかないため、その添加により曲げ矯正性が低
下することはなく、一方で軟窒化処理前の鋼に快削性を
付与する。また、Ｐｂは、軟窒化特性を低下させ、曲げ
矯正性を向上させる。Since Pb, Ca, and S do not combine with intruding N during soft-nitriding, their addition does not reduce bend straightening properties, and on the other hand, imparts free machinability to the steel before soft-nitriding. Furthermore, Pb reduces soft-nitriding properties and improves bend straightening properties.
Ｐｂの含有量を０．０３〜０．３５重量％としたのは、
０．０３重量％未満であると快削性が低下し、０．３５
重量％を超えると強度及び靭性か低下するためである。The Pb content was set to 0.03 to 0.35% by weight because
If it is less than 0.03% by weight, free machinability will decrease, and 0.35
This is because if the content exceeds % by weight, the strength and toughness will decrease.
好ましいＰｂの含有量は０．１５〜０．３０重量％であ
る。The preferred Pb content is 0.15 to 0.30% by weight.
Ｃａの含有量を０．００１０〜０．０１００重量％とじ
たのは、０．００１０重量％未満であると快削性が低下
し、０．０１００重量％を超えて添加することは鋼の溶
製上困難だからである。好ましいＣａの含有量は０．０
００５〜０．００２５重量％である。The reason why the Ca content is set at 0.0010 to 0.0100% by weight is that if it is less than 0.0010% by weight, the free machinability will deteriorate, and if it is added in excess of 0.0100% by weight, it will cause the steel to melt. This is because it is difficult to manufacture. The preferred Ca content is 0.0
005 to 0.0025% by weight.
Ｓの含有量を０．０４〜０．１３重量％とじたのは、０
．０４重量％未満であると快削性が低下し、０．１３重
量％を超えると強度及び靭性が低下するためである。好
ましいＳの含有量は０．０４〜０．０７重量％である。The content of S is 0.04 to 0.13% by weight.
．． This is because if it is less than 0.04% by weight, free machinability will decrease, and if it exceeds 0.13% by weight, strength and toughness will decrease. The preferred S content is 0.04 to 0.07% by weight.
Ｂは、軟窒化処理時に侵入Ｎと結合してＢＮとなるが、
ＢＮは硬度が低いので却って軟窒化特性か向上し、曲げ
矯正性が低下することはない。また、Ｂを所定量含有さ
せると焼入後の芯部硬さを向上させることかでき、特に
太物部品にした場合の強度向上に有効である。B combines with intruded N during soft-nitriding treatment to form BN,
Since BN has low hardness, the nitrocarburizing properties are improved, and the bend straightening properties are not deteriorated. Furthermore, by containing a predetermined amount of B, the core hardness after quenching can be improved, and this is particularly effective in improving the strength of thick parts.
Ｂの含有量を０．０ Ｏ８０重量％以下としたのは、０
、００８０重量％を超えて添加しても、増量したことに
よる効果の向上はなく、製造コストの上昇を招（だけだ
からである。好ましいＢの含有量は０、００４０重量％
以下である。The reason why the content of B is 0.0 O is 80% by weight or less.
, 0.0080% by weight or more, the increased amount does not improve the effect and only increases the manufacturing cost. The preferred content of B is 0.0040% by weight.
It is as follows.
