Abstract

Wear resisting steel, a sliding member for a cylinder in an internal combustion engine, and a ring spring consist of: carbon: equal to or less than 2.2% by weight; silicon: equal to or less than 1.2% by weight; manganese: equal to or more than 0.2 % by weight and less than 1.20% by weight; chromium: equal to or less than 16% by weight; phosphorus: equal to or less than 0.08% by weight; sulfur: equal to or more than 0.15% by weight; other compositions: equal to or less than 2.0 % by weiht; and the balance substantially consisting of iron. The surfaces thereof may be sulphurized. The steel has excellent resistance to wear and scuffing, provides high strength, great elongation, and high toughness, and also provides good machinability.
