The present invention relates to cold forging steel with improved spheroidized structure. Conventionally known cold forging steels containing 0.35 to 0.50% C and having a diameter of 20 mm or less are:
Generally, in order to improve cold forging properties, cold forging is performed after spheroidization, but in recent years, as cold forging technology has become more sophisticated and the demand for cost reduction has increased, Wire rods and bars have also come to be used as steel materials for cold forging. However, steel materials with such large diameters have a slow cooling rate after rolling, and the austenite grains become larger during the spheroidization process compared to steel materials with small diameters, so they form more thin layered pearlite than spheroidized carbides. Difficult to form spheroidal tissue. As a result of intensive research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention was developed by adding a predetermined amount of Mo to steel with a C content of 0.3 to 0.5%, thereby improving the spheroidized structure of steel materials with a diameter of 20 mm or more. The present invention was developed based on the discovery that it is suitable as a steel for cold step forming. The steel for cold forging according to the present invention has C0.3 to 0.5%,
It is characterized by containing 0.5% or less of Si, 0.5-0.7% of Mn, and 0.05-0.1% of Mo, with the balance consisting of iron and inevitable impurities, and having a diameter of 20 mm or more. In the steel for cold forging according to the present invention, at least 0.3% of C is required to increase the strength, but if it exceeds 0.5%, cracks may occur during quenching, so the C content is set to 0.5% or less. At least Si is used to deoxidize molten steel and ensure flowability.
0.05% is necessary, but to improve cold forging properties, it is desirable to have as little as possible, and the upper limit is 0.5%.
It is. Mn is added as a deoxidizing agent, but if the amount is too large, it will increase the hardenability too much, making it easier to crack or deteriorating the ductility, so the optimal amount is 0.5
~0.7%. In the S40C class, which is a normal medium carbon steel, Mn is 0.6 to 0.9%, but in the steel of the present invention, as mentioned above, Mo is added to improve the spheroidized structure, and this Mo It is necessary to reduce Mn by the amount of increase in hardenability. Therefore, in the present invention, the above optimal range is obtained by reducing Mn by 1.5 times the amount of Mo. Since the steel of the present invention contains a predetermined amount of Mo, the spheroidized structure is improved. For steel materials with a diameter of 20 mm or more, when the Mo content is less than 0.05%,
Improvement in spheroidized tissue was not significant, while 0.10%
Even if it is added in excess of
Moreover, since Mo is expensive, the optimum amount of Mo in the steel of the present invention is 0.05 to 0.1%. In addition, in the case of steel materials with a diameter smaller than 20 mm, the effect of improving the spheroidized structure by adding Mo is not significant. Note that it is better to have less P and S, and the upper limit is usually 0.035%. The present invention will be specifically described below based on Examples. Examples The table shows the chemical composition of the steel of the present invention as well as a conventional steel as a comparative example. Moreover, FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the diameter and the spheroidized structure grain size number of round bars made of the steel of the present invention (steel number 1) and the conventional steel (steel number 1). In the case of conventional steel, as the diameter increases, the grain size number becomes smaller and the cold forgeability deteriorates, whereas with the steel of the present invention, the grain size increases from No. 3 to No. 1. This ensures good cold forgeability. Next, the spheroidized structure obtained by the slow cooling method was JIS G 3539
The results measured by the method specified in 2 are shown in FIG. 2 for the conventional steel (Steel No. 2) and in FIG. 3 for the invention steel (Steel No. 2). As is clear from these, in the case of small diameter steel materials such as 15 mm in diameter,

[Table] In this case, there is no big difference in the spheroidized structure between the conventional steel and the steel of the present invention, and both have good cold forgeability because the grain size is No. 3 to No. 1. However, the diameter is 75mm
When it comes to large-diameter steel materials, such as conventional steel, the structure contains particles with grain sizes of No. 4 to No. 6, which causes cracks due to severe processing. On the contrary,
In the case of the steel of the present invention, the grain size is in the range of No. 3 to No. 1, and the cold forgeability is as good as in the case of small diameter steel materials. Figure 4 shows Mo content and grain size of spheroidized structures in bars with a diameter of 75 mm made of conventional steel (Steel No. 3 and 4), invention steel (Steel No. 3 and 4), and comparative steel (Steel No. 1), respectively. It is a graph showing the relationship with No., and it is clear that the spheroidized structure is particularly improved when the Mo amount is 0.05% or more.
It is also observed that even if the content exceeds 0.1%, the effect is almost saturated.
