Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008120574A1] A steel ingot for forging that excels in fatigue performance and hydrogen cracking resistance; and an integral crankshaft therefrom. The steel ingot for forging is produced with use of a casting mold, wherein the density (D<SUB>BOT</SUB>) of inclusions of 5 to 10 µm major diameter observed on a steel section in an inferior portion of the steel ingot is 10 to 80 inclusions/cm<SUP>2</SUP>; the density (D<SUB>TOP</SUB>) of inclusions of 5 to 10 µm major diameter observed on a steel section in a superior portion of the steel ingot is 20 to 90 inclusions/cm<SUP>2</SUP>; the density of inclusions of 40 µm or greater major diameter observed on a steel section in both inferior and superior portions of the steel ingot is 5 inclusions/cm<SUP>2</SUP> or less; and the densities satisfy the relationship (D<SUB>TOP</SUB>)/(D<SUB>BOT</SUB>)=[S(ppm)]/18. The integral crankshaft is produced by hot forging of this steel ingot for forging.
