- the average prior austenite grain size of the hardened layer formed on the component surface layer by induction hardening should be 7 Xm or less, preferably 5 mm, over the entire thickness of the hardened layer. m or less, more preferably 3 / m or less. If the average prior austenite grain size of the hardened layer exceeds 7 ⁇ Hi, sufficient grain boundary strength cannot be obtained, and improvement in fatigue strength cannot be expected.
- the prior austenite grain size over the entire thickness of the hardened layer was determined as follows.
- the outermost layer of the quenched part After induction hardening, the outermost layer of the quenched part has a martensite structure with an area ratio of 100%. Then, from the surface to the inside, the area of 100 martensite structure continues up to a certain thickness, but thereafter, the area ratio of martensite structure sharply increases Decreases.
- the region from the surface of the quenched portion until the area ratio of the martensitic structure decreases to 98 is defined as a hardened layer. Then, for this cured layer, the average prior austenite grain size was measured at 1/5, 1/2, and 4/5 positions of the entire thickness from the surface, and the average prior austenite grain size was measured at any position. Is 7 / xm or less, the average austenite particle size of the hardened layer is assumed to be 7 m or less.
- the average old austenite particle size is obtained by dissolving 50 g of picric acid in 500 g of water, then corroding the cross section of the hardened layer with a corrosion liquid containing llg of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, lg of ferrous chloride and 1.5 g of oxalic acid. According to an optical microscope, each position is multiplied by 400 times (area of one field of view: 0.25 ⁇ . ⁇ .225 thigh) 1000 times (area of one field of view: 0.10 ⁇ 09 0.09mm) Five visual fields were observed and measured by an image analyzer.

- the origin of fatigue fracture can be reduced by miniaturizing non-metallic inclusions composed of oxides.In particular, if the maximum diameter is 15 m or less, the origin of fatigue fracture can be used as the surface. it can. Since the surface is a hardened layer with high grain boundary strength by induction hardening, it is possible to dramatically improve the rotational bending fatigue strength.
- the maximum diameter of the nonmetallic inclusions made of oxide was determined as follows.
- the amount of 0 may be made 0.0030 mass or less as described above.
- high fatigue strength is obtained in the mechanical structural component of the present invention mainly because the precipitates containing Mo suppress the growth of austenite grains by the pinning effect during induction quenching, and the hardened layer after quenching. It is considered that the average prior austenite grain size was reduced to 7 ⁇ or less.
- Fig. 1 shows an example of the observed electron micrograph.

- the precipitate was extracted from the base metal, and the residue was identified by X-ray diffraction. The result was presumed to be mainly hep type (Mo f Ti) 2 (C, N). Furthermore, the results of EDX analysis attached to the transmission electron microscope revealed that the atomic ratio of Mo to Ti was about 8: 2, indicating that Mo was mainly composed of S. It should be noted that the precipitate here is completely
- the ( ⁇ 0, ⁇ ) 2 1 ⁇ ) precipitates are known to be relatively hard, unlike the precipitates such as ( ⁇ ), and are considered to have a high ability to block passage through the austenite grain interface.
- Mo is overwhelmingly large with respect to Ti and that Mo is an element that is difficult to diffuse, such (Mo, Ti) 2 (C, N) is the deposition temperature It is not expected that the temperature will increase rapidly even if the temperature is kept in the temperature range of about 600-700 ° C for a short period of time, so that the distribution amount of (Mo r Ti) and (C, N) is increased to increase the distribution density.

It must have a structure, and the total volume fraction of bainite structure and martensite structure must be 10% or more.
- the reason for this is that in the bainite and martensite structures, carbides are finely precipitated compared to the ferrite-pearlite structure, so the area of the ferrite / carbide interface, which is the nucleation site of austenite grains during induction hardening, is large. This is because it is advantageous for refining austenite grains.
- the martensite structure is preferable in order to refine the former austenite grains in the hardened layer.However, if the martensite structure is large, the machinability of the material is impaired.
- the ratio of the volume fraction of the martensite tissue is preferably from 100: 0 to 40:60.

- C / s or more preferably 700.
- the heating temperature during induction hardening is set to less than 800 ° C, austenite grains will be insufficiently formed and a hardened layer will not be formed. If the heating temperature exceeds 1000 or the heating rate in the temperature range of 600-800 ° C is 300 / s or less, the growth of austenite grains is promoted and the variation in austenite grain size increases. This leads to a decrease in fatigue strength.
- the above residence time is preferably set to 5s or less. More preferably, it is 3 s or less.
- Figure 2 shows the relationship between the heating temperature during induction hardening and the prior austenite grain size of the hardened layer in Mo-added steel and Mo-free steel.
- the components of Mo-added steel are as follows: C: 0.48, Si: 0.2%, Mn: 0.79%,

After that, tempering was performed in a heating furnace at 170 ° C for 30 minutes.
- the austenite grain size of the hardened layer after induction hardening was measured by the method described above.
- the lower the heating temperature during induction hardening the smaller the prior austenite grain size of the hardened layer.
- the temperature is 1000 ° C or less, preferably 950 ° C or less, the hardened layer becomes remarkably fine-grained.
- Mo-added steel and Mo-free steel both have the ability to refine the prior austenite grain size after the second working.Mo-added steel can obtain extremely fine prior austenite grain size of 3 / im or less. You can see that.
- Figure 3 shows the relationship between the prior austenite grain size and the bending fatigue strength of Mo-added steel and Mo-free steel.
- Mo-added steel even in the region where the prior austenite grain size is 7 / m or less, the grain size is reduced and the fatigue strength is improved.
- Mo-free steel improvement in fatigue strength is not observed in the region where the prior austenite grain size is 7 in or less. This is because the hardness of the hardened layer of Mo-free steel is lower than that of Mo-added steel, and if the former austenite grain size becomes finer than a certain level, the fatigue fracture becomes intragranular soil and the effect of the former austenite grain size Is considered to be smaller.
- the average prior austenite particle size of the hardened layer, the thickness of the hardened layer, and the maximum diameter of the oxide inclusion were measured by the methods described above.
- B means bainite
- M means martensite
- F means ferrite
- P means pearlite.
- the underline indicates outside the scope of the present invention.
