Abstract (en)

A case hardening steel tube which has a hardness of 72 - 80 HRB and which gives a carburized layer with a high strength and high wear resistance and adequate resistance to impact fracture when it is formed into a final product by working and subsequent carburizing and quenching under relatively mild conditions is manufactured by forming a tube from a steel having a steel composition comprising, in mass percent, C: 0.1 - 0.25%, Si: 0.2 - 0.4%, Mn: 0.3 - 0.9%, P: at most 0.02%, S: 0.001 - 0.15%, Cr: 0.5 - 0.9%, Mo: 0.15 - 1%, Al: 0.01 - 0.1%, B: 0.0005 - 0.009%, N: less than 0.006%, and a remainder essentially of Fe, then subjecting the resulting steel tube to normalizing by soaking at a temperature of 880 - 980 °C followed by cooling at a cooling rate of at most 70 °C per minute, carrying out cold working of the normalized steel tube, and then annealing the cold worked steel tube at a temperature of 700 - 820 °C.
