2. Description of the Related Art Machine structural parts used in automobiles and construction machinery are usually made of carbon steel for machine structural use or alloy steel for machine structural use, and are hardened after hot forging in order to secure necessary strength and toughness. It has been manufactured by carrying out a tempering process. However, in recent years, for the purpose of saving the energy required for the above-described heat treatment and reducing the cost of work-in-process, for example, carbon steel for machine structure specified in JIS G 4051 or machine structure specified in JIS G 4106. Non-heat treated steels made by adding precipitation hardening elements such as V and Nb to manganese steel have been developed and applied to automobile engine parts, undercarriage parts, construction machine parts and the like.

[0003] These non-heat treated steels have a target strength by cooling after hot forging to form a ferrite-pearlite mixed structure and precipitating carbides or nitrides such as V and Nb in the ferrite part. If such a non-heat treated steel is used, quenching and tempering treatment after hot forging can be omitted, and further, the heat treatment strain generated during quenching can be reduced and the subsequent straightening process can be simplified. In addition to the advantage of being hardened, quench cracking is less likely to occur, the rate of defective products due to quench cracking is reduced, and it is possible to significantly reduce the component manufacturing cost. For these reasons, recently, a non-heat treated steel has been developed which can be applied to mechanical structural parts that require high strength such as tensile strength of 90 kgf / mm 2 or more (for example, JP-A-63-19984).

By the way, in each of the above-mentioned non-heat treated steels, charcoal / nitride forming elements such as V are added, and the precipitation and hardening of these charcoal / nitride enhances the strength characteristics such as tensile strength and proof stress. Therefore, in order to obtain a particularly high-strength non-heat treated steel, a large amount of elements such as V must be added. However, since these elements are expensive, the raw steel material cost increases, and the advantage of cost reduction due to non-refining cannot be effectively utilized.

Further, as a steel material having a tensile strength of 90 kgf / mm 2 level or more, a high strength / high toughness type non-heat treated steel having a Charpy impact value of 2 mm U notch of 6 kgf · m / cm 2 or more has been proposed. (For example, JP-A-6
No. 1-238941), this high-strength, high-toughness non-heat treated steel has the C content reduced as much as possible in order to obtain high toughness. Therefore, in order to obtain high strength in the state where it is left to cool after hot forging, it is necessary to add a large amount of strengthening elements such as Mn and Cr corresponding to the reduction of the amount of C, which also increases the cost of raw steel materials. Is inevitable. In addition, a method of performing rapid cooling such as water quenching after hot forging has been attempted in order to reduce the amount of these strengthening elements, but this method causes a big problem of causing heat treatment distortion and quench cracking due to quenching. . Further, since the non-heat treated steel as described above is mainly composed of a ferrite / pearlite structure transformed from a coarse austenite structure, a problem of insufficient toughness is pointed out.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present inventors can omit quenching and tempering treatments, and have strength characteristics and fatigue characteristics comparable to those of conventional non-heat treated steels containing expensive precipitation hardening elements such as V and Nb. In order to develop an inexpensive non-heat treated steel for hot forging, which has a structure after hot forging and cooling is ferrite / pearlite, it affects strength properties such as proof stress and fatigue properties, as well as machinability. We have conducted intensive research into the effects of various alloying elements.

As a result, if the content of each element contained in the steel material is properly adjusted so as to satisfy the requirement of the above formula (1), the yield strength, which is an important characteristic as the component design strength, can be effectively increased. It is possible to suppress an excessive increase in tensile strength (hardness) that causes a decrease in machinability, that is, to increase the yield ratio, which is the ratio of proof stress to tensile strength, and to improve machinability.

That is, the fatigue strength of ferritic-pearlite steel depends on the strength of the proeutectoid ferrite portion, which is structurally weak, and the proof stress, which is the deformation resistance when a small strain is applied, also shows the slip resistance Since the fatigue strength of non-heat treated steel has a higher correlation with the proof stress than the tensile strength (hardness), it is possible to improve the fatigue strength by increasing the proof stress. Then, if the components are adjusted so as to satisfy the requirement of the above formula (1), the deterioration of machinability can be suppressed as much as possible, the yield strength can be increased, and a non-heat treated steel having a high level of fatigue characteristics can be obtained. Can be done.

By the way, in the case of the steel material having the value of the above-mentioned formula (1) less than 3.5, a satisfactory yield ratio cannot be obtained as will be apparent from the examples described later, and the purpose of improving the fatigue characteristics cannot be fulfilled.

The requirement defined by the above formula (2) is defined as a requirement for preventing the formation of bainite, which is a supercooled structure generated during cooling after hot forging, and suppressing a decrease in yield strength and fatigue strength. If this value exceeds 2.6, not only the proof stress and fatigue strength are lowered, but also the machinability is lowered, as will be apparent from the examples described later.

C: 0.30 to 0.80% C is an element indispensable for increasing the amount of pearlite in the metal structure of the forged product after hot forging and cooling to secure the necessary strength. For that purpose, at least 0.30% or more must be contained. However, if the amount of C is too large, the toughness is reduced and the machinability is also significantly reduced, so it must be suppressed to 0.80% or less. Considering strength, toughness and machinability, a more preferable C content is in the range of 0.35 to 0.60%.

Si: 0.1 to 2.5% Si effectively acts on deoxidation when steel is melted, and is solid-solved in a ferrite material of steel to strengthen a forged product after hot forging and cooling. It is an effective element for improving the yield strength and fatigue strength of the forged product. At least 0.1% or more must be contained in order to effectively exhibit such an action, but if too much, machinability will be adversely affected, so 2.5% is made the upper limit. The more preferable range of Si is 0.15 to 1.5%.

Mn: 0.3-2.0% Mn is an element effective as a deoxidizing / desulfurizing element when steel is melted, and also enhances the pearlite hardenability of the forged product to increase the amount of pearlite and pearlite. The lamellar spacing in the inside is made fine to contribute to the strength increase. In order to exert such effects effectively, at least 0.3% or more must be contained, but if it is too large, bainite is generated in the metal structure after hot forging and cooling, which adversely affects machinability. Therefore, it must be kept to 2.0% or less. The more preferable Mn content is in the range of 0.5 to 1.6%.

Al: 0.001 to 0.06% Al effectively acts as a deoxidizing element during melting of steel materials, and also contributes to the improvement of toughness by refining austenite crystal grains due to the formation of nitrides. Therefore, in order to effectively exhibit these effects, the content must be 0.001% or more. However, if it is too large, the austenite crystal grains are rather coarsened and adversely affect the toughness. Therefore, it must be suppressed to 0.06% or less. Considering these advantages and disadvantages, the more preferable range of Al is 0.00
It is 3 to 0.05%.

N: 0.005-0.10% N has a function of strengthening a forged product after hot forging and cooling by forming a solid solution in a ferrite material of a steel material, whereby hardness and tensile strength are increased. In addition to increasing the strength, it also works effectively in combination with a nitride forming element such as Al or Ti to refine the austenite crystal grains and increase the toughness and fatigue strength. This effect is effectively exhibited at 0.005% or more, but if it is too large, it adversely affects the toughness, and also hinders the hot workability to easily cause cracking during casting or hot working. Machinability deteriorates due to hardening of steel, so 0.10

However, if the amount is too large, not only the toughness is significantly deteriorated, but also the hot workability is adversely affected and cracks are likely to occur during casting or hot working.

S: 0.12% or Less (Including 0%) S has an action of forming MnS to enhance machinability, and also produces intragranular ferrite having MnS as a nucleus to refine the structure. It also contributes to the improvement of toughness. In order to positively utilize such effects, it is desirable to contain about 0.035% or more, but if it is too much, the deformability during hot work will be significantly reduced, so keep it below 0.12%. There must be.

Cr: 1.0% or Less (Including 0%) Cr is an element that increases pearlite hardenability and contributes to strength improvement, similar to Mn. It is desirable to contain about 0.2% or more. However, if it is too large, it becomes too hard and bainite is easily generated, which adversely affects the machinability, so it must be suppressed to 1.0% or less.
