Abstract (en)

In a process for manufacturing a steel tube for air bags having a high strength and high toughness which can simplify cold drawing and reduce the alloy cost, a seamless steel tube is formed from a steel comprising, in mass percent, C: 0.04 - 0.20%, Si: 0.10 - 0.50%, Mn: 0.10 - 1.00%, P: at most 0.025%, S: at most 0.005%, Al: at most 0.10%, Cr: 0.01 - 0.50%, Cu: 0.01 - 0.50%, Ni: 0.01 - 0.50%, and a remainder of Fe and unavoidable impurities, and the seamless steel tube is subjected to cold drawing at least one time with a working ratio such that the reduction in area is greater than 40% to obtain predetermined dimensions, then to quench hardening by heating to a temperature of at least the Ac 3 point at a rate of temperature increase of at least 50° C per second followed by cooling at a cooling rate of at least 50° C per second at least in a temperature range of 850 - 500° C, and to tempering at a temperature of at most the Ac 1 point.
