TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a high-strength bolt mainly for use in automobiles, and in particular to a high-strength bolt having a tensile strength (strength) of 1,200 N / mm2 or more that is superior in delayed fracture resistance and relaxation resistance. BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Carbon alloy steels (such as SCM435, SCM440, and SCr440) are used for common high-strength bolts, and these bolts are given a desirable strength by quenching and tempering. However, common high-strength bolts used in automobiles and various industrial machines have a risk of generating delayed fracture when they have a tensile strength in the range above approximately 1,200 N / mm2, and thus, have restriction in use.
[0003] The delayed fracture includes both phenomena occurring in corrosive and noncorrosive environments, and the reasons for its occurrence are said to be complicated by various factors, and thus, it is difficult to specify the reasons indiscriminately. The regulatory f...
