Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a heat-resistant steel for exhaust valves, having relatively small Ni content, high mechanical characteristics (for example, tensile strength, fatigue strength, wear resistance and hardness) at high temperature, and excellent oxidation resistance. The present invention provides a heat-resistant steel for exhaust valves, which includes: 0.45≦C<0.60 mass %, 0.30<N<0.50 mass %, 19.0≦Cr<23.0 mass %, 5.0≦Ni<9.0 mass %, 8.5≦Mn<10.0 mass %, 2.5≦Mo<4.0 mass %, 0.01≦Si<0.50 mass %, and 0.01≦Nb<0.30 mass %, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, in which the steel satisfies 0.02≦Nb/C<0.70 and satisfies 4.5≦Mo/C<8.9.
