<p>High surface pressure resistant steel parts and their producing methods are disclosed. These steel parts are useful as gears, cams, bearings and similar high-strength compact steel articles which are required to have wear resistance and strength to withstand fatigue in rolling or rolling-slipping applications. In a steel part formed according to the invention, a fine nitride and/or carbonitride having at least an average grain size of 0.3 mu m or less is dispersed in the contact surface structure; a multi phase structure composed of martensite, which is divided into extremely fine pieces, forming a disordered shape, by the nitride and/or carbonitride, is formed; and a carbide having a grain size of 3 mu m or less is dispersed to increase the hardness of the surface. Such a steel part is produced by carrying out carbonitriding or carburization/carbonitriding so as to precipitate extremely fine AlN, using nitrogen permeating from the surface and by carrying out quenching or quenching/tempering, starting from a temperature region where the parent phase is austenite <IMAGE></p> |
