- the intermediate product of the machined crankshaft is quenched (step S5). Specifically, it is heated to a predetermined heating temperature and then rapidly cooled. At this time, the intermediate product may be heated locally by a high-frequency induction heating device or the entire intermediate product may be heated by a heat treatment furnace.

クランクシャフト10は、以下に説明する化学組成を有する。以下の説明において、元素の含有量の「%」は、質量%を意味する。
炭素(C)は、鋼の硬さを向上させ、疲労強度の向上に寄与する。一方、C含有量が高すぎると、耐焼割れ性及び被削性が低下する。したがって、C含有量は0.35~0.40%である。
シリコン(Si)は、鋼を脱酸する。一方、Si含有量が高すぎると、被削性が低下する。したがって、Si含有量は0.70%以下である。Si含有量の下限は、好ましくは0.01%である。Si含有量の上限は、好ましくは0.50%である。
マンガン(Mn)は、鋼の焼入れ性を高める。一方、Mn含有量が高すぎると、被削性が低下する。したがって、Mn含有量は1.00~2.00%である。
クロム(Cr)は、鋼の焼入れ性を高める。一方、Cr含有量が高すぎると、被削性が低下する。したがって、Cr含有量は0.50%以下である。Cr含有量の下限は、好ましくは0.01%であり、さらに好ましくは0.05%である。Cr含有量の上限は、好ましくは0.30%である。
アルミニウム(Al)は、鋼を脱酸する。一方、Al含有量が高すぎると、被削性が低下する。したがって、Al含有量は0.050%以下である。Al含有量の下限は、好ましくは0.001%である。
窒素(N)は、不純物である。Nは、鋼の熱間延性を低下させる。したがって、N含有量は0.020%以下である。一方、N含有量を過剰に制限すると製錬コストが増加する。N含有量の下限は、好ましくは0.001%であり、さらに好ましくは0.005%である。
リン(P)は、不純物である。Pは、鋼の耐焼割れ性を低下させる。したがって、P含有量は0.020%以下である。
硫黄(S)は、MnSを形成し、鋼の被削性を高める。一方、S含有量が高すぎると、鋼の熱間加工性が低下する。したがって、S含有量は0.005~0.200%である。
ジャーナル部11及びピン部12の各々は、表面の組織が80体積%以上の焼戻しマルテンサイトを含む組織であり、表面の硬さがHV450以下である。ジャーナル部11及びピン部12の表面の組織を80体積%以上の焼戻しマルテンサイトを含む組織とし、かつ、表面の硬さをHV450以下にすることで、耐焼付性が顕著に向上する。
次に、クランクシャフト10の製造方法の一例を説明する。以下に説明する製造方法は、あくまでも例示であって、クランクシャフト10の製造方法を限定するものではない。
