Abstract

A boron-treated steel comprises a carbon steel, or a low alloy steel containing 0.15 to 0.85% C, 0.15 to 2.0% Si, 0.3 to 1.5% Mn, not more than 1.0% Cr, not more than 0.020% of P and S each, and unavoidable quantities of Al and Ti not exceeding 0.008% and 0.010%, respectively, and further contains 6 to 30 ppm of acid-soluble boron. The steel produced is less likely to develop cracks and can be produced at substantially reduced costs.
