Description

technical field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a steel material and a component, and more specifically, to a steel material used as a raw material of an induction hardened component, and to a component obtained by induction hardening the steel material. In this specification, a part subjected to induction hardening is referred to as an "induction hardened part". It should be noted that the induction hardened component does not necessarily need to be subjected to induction hardening treatment on the entire component, and also includes parts that have been subjected to induction hardening treatment only in part. That is to say, in this specification, a part including a part that has been induction hardened (hereinafter referred to as a hardened part) and a part that has not been induction quenched (hereinafter referred to as an unquenched part) is also defined as an "induction hardened part". . It should be noted that, of course, the case where the entire part is induction ...
