Abstract (en)

Age hardenable steel is low in hardness after hot forging, providing a machine part with the desired fatigue strength and yield strength by aging treatment, and high in toughness after aging treatment, comprising C: 0.09 to 0.20%, Si: 0.01 to 0.40%, Mn: 1.5 to 2.5%, S: 0.001 to 0.045%, Cr: over 1.00% to 2.00%, Al: 0.001 to 0.060%, V: 0.22 to 0.55%, N: over 0.0080 to 0.0170%, and a balance of Fe and impurities, where an area rate of bainite structures is 80% or more, an effective V ratio (amount of dissolved V/total amount of V) is 0.9 or more, a P and Ti in the impurities is P: 0.03% or less and Ti: less than 0.005%, and the chemical composition is one where the following F1 is 1.00 or less and the F2 is 0.30 or more: F 1 = C + 0.1 × Si + 0.2 × Mn + 0.15 × Cr + 0.35 × V F 2 = ˆ’ 4.5 × C + Mn + Cr ˆ’ 3.5 × V
