Abstract
A case hardening steel having excellent fatigue resistance is provided at relatively low production cost. A case hardening steel has a chemical composition containing C: 0.10% to 0.30%, Si: 0.10% to 1.20%, Mn: 0.30% to 1.50%, S: 0.010% to 0.030%, Cr: 0.10% to 1.00%, B: 0.0005% to 0.0050%, Sb: 0.005% to 0.020%, and N: 0.0150% or less in a predetermined range, and further containing Al: 0.010%≤Al≤0.120% in the case where B−(10.8/14)N≥0.0003%, and 27/14[N−(14/10.8)B+0.030]≤Al≤0.120% in the case where B−(10.8/14)N<0.0003%.
