HEAT-HARDENED STEEL WITH EXCELLENT CRASHWORTHINESS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HEAT-HARDENABLE PARTS USING SAME

摘要

Disclosed are heat-hardened steel with excellent crashworthiness and a method for manufacturing heat-hardenable parts using the same. The heat-hardened steel according to the invention comprises, based on wt%; C: 0.12-0.8%; Cr: 0.01-2%; Mo: 0.2% or less; B: 0.0005-0.08%; Ca: 0.01 or less; Sb: 1.0% or less; and Ti and/or Nb: 0.2%; and the reminder being Fe and inevitable impurities. In addition, the heat-treatment hardening steel satisfies anyone of following conditions i)-iv), wherein condition i) comprises Si: 0.5-3%; Mn: 1-10% and Al: 0.05-2%; condition ii) comprises Si: 1% or less; Mn: 0.5-5%; Al: 0.1-2.5%; and Ni: 0.01-8%; condition iii) comprises Si: 0.5-3%; Mn: 1-10%; Al: 0.1% or less; and Ni: 0.01-8%; and condition iv) comprises Si: 0.5-3%; Mn: 1-10%; Al: 0.1-2.5%; and Ni: 0.01-8%.
