Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high strength steel having superior hydrogen embrittlement resistance even if heat treatment is omitted by treating a steel, containing specific amounts of C, Si, Mn, Al, and Fe, under prescribed conditions and forming the structure into martensite and/or bainite structure. CONSTITUTION:A steel, having a composition consisting of, by weight, 0.01-0.3% C, 0.01-2.5% Si, 0.01-3% Mn, 0.005-0.1% Al, and the balance Fe, is refined. After hot rolling or subsequent hot forging or heat treatment is applied to this steel, continuous cooling or isothermal transformation is performed, by which the structure can mainly be composed of martensite and/or bainite, thus the objective high strength steel excellent in hydrogen embrittlement resistance can be obtained.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steel material having high strength and excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance even if it is not hardened and tempered, and its manufacturing method. The steel material is exposed to a corrosive environment such as sea breeze. It is useful as a high-strength bolt steel for bridges.

2. Description of the Related Art There are two types of delayed fracture that occur in a corrosive environment and a non-corrosive environment, which occur after a certain period of time has elapsed since a metal material was stressed, and their causes are complicatedly entangled. Since it is working, it is difficult to identify the cause of the destruction. However, it is said that the hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon acts in some way on the delayed fracture of most steel materials.

As a typical example of delayed fracture mainly caused by hydrogen embrittlement, there is high strength bolt steel used for bridges and the like, and the tensile strength including these high strength bolt steel is 120 kgf. Delayed fracture is often a major problem in tempered steels with a hardness of about / mm 2 or more. Therefore, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-113317 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-1917
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-62, etc. proposes a technique in which the composition of the steel material, the heat treatment method, and the like are devised on the premise that tempering treatment is performed. However, even with these methods, the risk of delayed fracture due to hydrogen embrittlement is completely eliminated. It is not wiped out, and their application is limited to a narrow range. Moreover, all of these methods are premised on heat treatment for quenching and tempering after processing, and in order to reduce the cost of various processed products, they are excellent in hydrogen embrittlement resistance even if the heat treatment for quenching and tempering is omitted. Development of high-strength steel materials that exhibit chemical properties is required.
