Abstract

There is provided a hot rolled steel according to one aspect of the invention including, as a predetermined chemical composition: Bi: 0.0001 mass % to 0.0050 mass %, in which 90 area % or more of a metallographic structure is configured with a ferrite and a pearlite, and an average number density of Mn sulfides measured on a cross section parallel to a rolling direction having an aspect ratio of more than 10 and 30 or less which is extended along the rolling direction, is 50 pieces/mm 2 to 200 pieces/mm 2 .

Claims (43)

1 . A hot rolled steel comprising, as a chemical composition:

C: 0.35 mass % to 0.45 mass %;

Si: 1.0 mass % to 1.9 mass %;

Mn: 0.10 mass % to 0.20 mass %;

P: 0.010 mass % to 0.035 mass %;

S: 0.06 mass % to 0.10 mass %;

Cr: 0.25 mass % or less;

V: 0.20 mass % to 0.40 mass %;

N: 0.0060 mass % to 0.0150 mass %;

B: 0.0050 mass % or less;

Bi: 0.0001 mass % to 0.0050 mass %;

Ti: 0 mass % to 0.050 mass %;

Nb: 0 mass % to 0.030 mass %; and

a remainder including Fe and impurities,

wherein 90 area % or more of a metallographic structure is configured with a ferrite and a pearlite, and

an average number density of Mn sulfides measured on a cross section parallel to a rolling direction having an equivalent circle diameter of 1 μm to 5 μm and an aspect ratio of more than 10 and 30 or less which is extended along the rolling direction, is 50 pieces/mm 2 to 200 pieces/mm 2 .

2 . The hot rolled steel according to claim 1 , comprising, as the chemical composition:

one or two elements of Ti: 0.005 mass % to 0.050 mass % and Nb: 0.005 mass % to 0.030 mass %.

3 . A steel component comprising, as a chemical composition:

C: 0.35 mass % to 0.45 mass %;

Si: 1.0 mass % to 1.9 mass %;

Mn: 0.10 mass % to 0.20 mass %;

P: 0.010 mass % to 0.035 mass %;

S: 0.06 mass % to 0.10 mass %;

Cr: 0.25 mass % or less;

V: 0.20 mass % to 0.40 mass %;

N: 0.0060 mass % to 0.0150 mass %;

B: 0.0050 mass % or less;

Bi: 0.0001 mass % to 0.0050 mass %;

Ti: 0 mass % to 0.050 mass %;

Nb: 0 mass % to 0.030 mass %; and

a remainder including Fe and impurities,

wherein 90 area % or more of a metallographic structure is configured with a ferrite and a pearlite, and

an average number density of Mn sulfides measured on a cross section parallel to a rolling direction having an equivalent circle diameter of 1 μm to 5 μm and an aspect ratio of more than 10 and 30 or less which is extended along the rolling direction, is 50 pieces/mm 2 to 200 pieces/mm 2 .

4 . The steel component according to claim 3 ,

wherein, in a case where tensile fracture of the steel component is caused by tensile stress parallel to the rolling direction to form a fracture surface,

differences in level observed on the cross section parallel to the rolling direction, in which a difference in height towards a direction parallel to the tensile stress is 80 μm or more and an angle with respect to the direction parallel to the tensile stress is 45 degrees or less, are formed on the fracture surface at an average number density of 2.0 or more per 10 mm,

a brittle fracture surface is 98% or more of the fracture surface as an area ratio, and

an average number density of cracks or recessed parts observed on the cross section parallel to the rolling direction, in which an angle with respect to the direction parallel to the tensile stress exceeds 45 degrees, which are formed over a length of 80 μm or more and some of which are propagated to an inner portion of the steel component, is less than 3.0 per 10 mm on the fracture surface.

5 . The steel component according to claim 3 , comprising, as the chemical composition:

one or two elements of Ti: 0.005 mass % to 0.050 mass % and Nb: 0.005 mass % to 0.030 mass %.

6 . The steel component according to claim 4 , comprising, as the chemical composition:

one or two elements of Ti: 0.005 mass % to 0.050 mass % and Nb: 0.005 mass % to 0.030 mass %.
