ELECTRIC RESISTANCE WELDED STEEL PIPE FOR HIGH-STRENGTH HOLLOW STABILIZER, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ELECTRIC RESISTANCE WELDED STEEL PIPE FOR HIGH-STRENGTH HOLLOW STABILIZER

摘要

An electric resistance welded steel pipe manufactured by performing electric resistance welding on the steel pipe. The steel pipe having a chemical composition including by mass %, C: 0.20% to 0.40%, Si: 0.1% to 1.0%, Mn: 0.1% to 2.0%, Al: 0.01% to 0.10%, Cr: 0.01% to 0.5%, Ti: 0.01% to 0.05%, B: 0.0005% to 0.005%, Ca: 0.0001% to 0.0050%, N: 0.0050% or less, and Fe and inevitable impurities. Additionally, the steel pipe having a microstructure in which each of amounts of TiS particles, having a particle size of 10 μm or more, and MnS particles, having a particle size of 10 μm or more, are decreased to 0.1% or less in terms of cleanliness. The steel pipe having excellent fatigue resistance, exhibiting a high strength, and having an average grain size of prior austenite grains of 50 μm or less when subjected to cold forming followed by quenching and tempering treatments.
