Abstract

The steel material according to the present invention contains, in mass %, C: 0.15 to 0.45%, Si: 0.10 to 1.0%, Mn: 0.10 to 0.8%, P: 0.050% or less, S: 0.010% or less, Al: 0.01 to 0.1%, N: 0.010% or less, Cr: 0.1 to 2.5%, Mo: 0.35 to 3.0%, Co: 0.05 to 2.0%, Ti: 0.003 to 0.040%, Nb: 0.003 to 0.050%, Cu: 0.01 to 0.50%, and Ni: 0.01 to 0.50%, and satisfies the following Formulae. A prior-austenite grain diameter of its microstructure is less than 5 μm, and a block diameter of its microstructure is less than 2 μm. The microstructure contains a total of 90% by volume or more of tempered martensite and tempered bainite. C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Cu+Ni)/15−Co/6+α≥0.70  (1) (3C+Mo+3Co)/(3Mn+Cr)≥1.0  (2).
