There is. Since such heat treatment is a very useful means to bring the mechanical properties of the component to the required values, it has been widely practiced in the past. Steel subjected to or obtained by such heat treatment is called heat-treated steel.

On the other hand, in recent years, there has been a strong demand for rationalization of manufacturing lines, improvement of productivity and rationalization of heat energy for heat treatment, and a proposal for a non-heat treated high strength steel omitting quenching and tempering treatment (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61- No. 238941, No. 62-202054,

However, these proposals show sufficient tensile strength.
(TS) can be secured, but considering the yield strength as a structural part, the yield ratio (YP / TS) is often less than 0.75, so even if TS is high, it is woven into the design strength. There was a contradiction that I could not put it in. Especially TS is 90kgf / mm
In the case of a non-heat treated high strength steel (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-279656) mainly having a bainite structure having a toughness exceeding 2, a low yield ratio becomes apparent.

The hot forging is generally carried out, for example, by die forging by pressing, since the steel according to the present invention is often used in the form of a steel bar. However, it is not limited to a particular one. Here, the processing heat treatment conditions in the present invention will be described.

Heating temperature: 950 to 1250 ° C. If heating is performed at less than 950 ° C., the additives do not sufficiently form a solid solution in the steel, and the prescribed strength and toughness cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if heated above 1250 ° C., the additive becomes saturated and the effects of various additives cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is limited to 950 to 1250 ° C.

Finishing temperature: After heating at 750 ° C. or higher, hot forging is performed to form a predetermined shape. At that time, in order to obtain predetermined strength and toughness, a bainite structure having an area ratio of proeutectoid ferrite of 10% or less is obtained. There is a need to. For that purpose, it is necessary to set the finishing temperature to 750 ° C or higher. Below 750 ° C, the area ratio of proeutectoid ferrite is
If it exceeds 10%, the strength is significantly reduced. Therefore, 750 ° C
That is all. It is preferably 850 ° C. or higher. In other words, the amount of pro-eutectoid ferrite in the bainite structure can be adjusted by changing the finishing temperature. As described above, other forming means and conditions by forging are not limited to particular ones.

Tempering temperature: 300 to 650 ° C. In the present invention, tempering improves YR. A tempering temperature of at least 300 ° C is required to exert such effects. However, when the temperature exceeds 650 ° C, the strength is significantly reduced. Therefore, the temperature is set to 300 to 650 ° C. Preferably,
500 to 600 ° C. Next, the operation and effect of the present invention will be described more specifically by way of examples.

As is clear from the results shown in Table 2, the steel obtained according to the present invention having a tempering temperature of 550 ° C.
It has excellent Charpy absorbed energy and high strength and high toughness. On the other hand, among the steel compositions given as comparative examples, those in which C, Si, Mn, P, Cr, B, Ti and sol.Al deviate higher than the specified values have poor impact properties. Also,
If C, B, Ti, and sol.Al deviate below the specified values, the strength will decrease.

Generally, strong carbide forming elements such as Mo, V and Nb remarkably suppress temper softening by adding a trace amount.
This is due to suppressing the upward movement of dislocations in order to delay the diffusion of vacancies.
