2. Description of the Related Art Gears are widely used in power transmission systems in automobiles and industrial machines. During operation, these gears are highly stressed under high speed rotation. Therefore, conventionally, in the manufacture of gears, in order to improve fatigue resistance and wear resistance, it is formed using case-hardening steel and carburized in the final step to reduce surface hardness and compressive residual stress. It's high. However, recently, for example, in automobile parts, as the engine performance has been improved and the parts have been made smaller and lighter, a gear having better fatigue strength than ever has been required. Gears made of steel cannot meet such requirements.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, in order to meet the above requirements, the present inventors have extensively studied the mechanism of fatigue fracture of gears, and as a result, fatigue fracture occurs in any case starting from the surface. In addition, the formation of an incompletely hardened layer with a very low hardness was observed at a depth of 10 to 20 μm in the surface layer, and it was found that this incompletely hardened layer had a great influence on fatigue strength. It was This incompletely hardened layer is also called an abnormal oxidation layer, and when carburizing a gear, the surface layer is oxidized along the grain boundaries by the atmospheric gas, and oxides such as Si, Mn and Cr are formed, The amounts of solute Mn and Cr effective for hardenability are decreasing, and as a result, hardenability is low. Therefore, its hardness is about 200-300 lower at HV than inside.

また、このように、表層部に不完全焼入れ層が存在する

Further, when the incompletely hardened layer is present in the surface layer portion, the residual stress in the surface layer portion becomes a tensile residual stress rather than a compressive residual stress.

Therefore, the present inventors, in order to increase the fatigue strength of the gear,
It is necessary to prevent the formation of an incompletely hardened layer after carburizing and quenching as described above, and to increase the surface hardness and compressive residual stress.Furthermore, in order to further increase fatigue strength, austenite should be properly added to the carburized surface layer. It has been found that it is effective to leave a large amount.

Mn is also an element that easily forms a grain boundary oxide, but it is necessary for increasing strength by improving hardenability and for deoxidizing. In the present invention, at least 0 is used for the deoxidation.
Although 30% is added, if too much is added, the machinability will deteriorate, so the amount added should be 2.0% or less.

If it is added over 2.0%, carbides are formed, and further grain boundary oxides are formed, and the effect of improving hardenability is saturated.

Mo is an element that does not easily generate grain boundary oxides and can secure the hardenability of the carburized surface layer. Furthermore, as a result of increasing the equilibrium carbon concentration during carburization, it is possible to generate an appropriate amount of retained austenite after quenching. This makes it possible to obtain high fatigue strength, and is one of the most important alloying elements in the present invention. In the present invention, to improve the hardenability of the surface layer portion, in order to generate an appropriate amount of retained austenite after quenching, it is necessary to add 0.30% or more,
However, even if an excessive amount exceeding 2.0% is added, the above effect is saturated, and carbides are remarkably formed, which rather reduces the fatigue strength.

発明においては、添加量の上限を0.10%とする。
Contrary to Mo, Cu lowers the equilibrium concentration during carburization and reduces the effect of Mo that leaves an appropriate amount of austenite for obtaining high fatigue strength after quenching. Therefore, in the present invention, the upper limit of the added amount is 0.10%.

Oは、酸化物系介在物を生成して、疲労強度を低減させ

5 ≦ −34 (Cu%) + 16 (Mo%) ≦ 25 (1) That is, by satisfying the above relations with the addition amounts of Cu and Mo, it is possible to obtain a suitable residual amount required to obtain high fatigue strength after quenching. The amount of austenite can be secured. In the present invention, the appropriate amount of retained austenite is 10 to 40% in area ratio, particularly preferably 20 to 40%. When the above formula value is smaller than 5, it is not possible to obtain a proper amount of retained austenite, and it is not possible to weaken notch sensitivity in improving fatigue strength. On the other hand, when the value of the above formula exceeds 25, not only high compressive residual stress cannot be obtained, but also high surface hardness cannot be obtained.

Even if added over the range, such an effect is saturated.

The steel according to the present invention, by the above sulfide morphology control element,
When the aspect ratio of the sulfide-based inclusions, that is, the length is 1 and the width is W, 1 / W must be 5 or less.
This is because the fatigue strength of the gear is a cross grain strength, so that when there is a sulfide-based inclusion that extends long like a cord in the steel, the fatigue strength deteriorates.

Similar to Mo, V and W have the effect of increasing the equilibrium carbon concentration during carburization and leaving an appropriate amount of austenite that makes it possible to obtain high fatigue strength after quenching. In order to effectively obtain such an effect, it is necessary to add at least 0.03% to each element of V and W. When V is added in an excessive amount, it reduces the crystal grains and inhibits the formation of retained austenite, so the addition amount is 0.20% or less. Also, W is 1.0

(2) (In the formula, element% represents the amount of the element added by weight% in the steel.) That is, by satisfying the above relations in the amounts of Cu, Mo, V and W added, carburizing and quenching Later, it is possible to secure an appropriate amount of retained austenite necessary for obtaining high fatigue strength in the surface layer portion. Here, as described above, the appropriate retained austenite is in the range of 10 to 40%, and particularly preferably in the range of 20 to 40% in area ratio. When the above formula value is smaller than 5, it is impossible to obtain an appropriate retained austenite, and it is impossible to weaken the notch sensitivity in improving the fatigue strength. On the other hand, when the value of the above formula exceeds 25, not only high compressive residual stress cannot be obtained, but also high surface hardness cannot be obtained.

And the alloy design that regulates the amount of O to prevent the occurrence of an incompletely hardened layer in the outermost surface layer after carburizing, increase the surface hardness and surface compressive residual stress, and further leave an appropriate amount of austenite. Thus, the notch sensitivity at the time of fatigue cracking can be weakened and the surface compressive residual stress can be further enhanced, and thus, carburizing steel for gears with significantly improved fatigue strength can be obtained.
