BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0020]

FIG. 2 is used in the hydrogen embrittlement resistance evaluation test of Example is a side view of an annular V-notch test piece.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0021]
 The present inventors have conducted various studies to solve the above problems. As a result, the present inventors have obtained the following findings.
[0022]
 (A) while maintaining the cold workability, ensuring hardenability, and to reduce the steel costs, preferably chrome steel (JIS G4053 (symbol "SCr" defined in 2008)) to the base . However, in the compositional standard for machine structural alloy steel as defined above JIS standard, low hydrogen embrittlement resistance.
[0023]
 (B) in order to increase the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement of cold forged microalloyed products, it is effective to increase the tempering temperature in the manufacturing process. However, increasing the tempering temperature, tempering softening occurs. To enhance the temper softening resistance, the Si content is effective to increase than component standard alloy steel for the machine structure. In addition, Mn in the steel is conducive to grain boundary segregation of P, to promote the grain boundary fracture. Therefore, it is effective to a Mn content less than compositional standard alloy steel for the machine structure.
[0024]
 (C) the tensile strength of the cold forged microalloyed products and high strength such as 1000 ~ 1300 MPa, and, in order to obtain a high fatigue strength, it is necessary to sufficiently hardenability. However, if too high hardenability, cold workability of rolling bars to be cold forged microalloyed product material is reduced. In this case, before carrying out the cold working of the wire drawing and cold forging or the like to the rolling bars shall long softening heat treatment for the purpose of softening of the rolled bars was performed multiple times. Therefore, Mo, even without containing a large amount of alloy elements V, etc., the production cost is high. Therefore, it is possible cold working without a plurality of times for a long period of time softening heat treatment, and the high strength and high fatigue rolling bars strength having hardenability is obtained is preferable.
[0025]
 Therefore, the rolling bars according to the present invention, while ensuring the hardenability, in order to maintain the cold workability, satisfies the equation (1).
 0.50 ≦ C + Si / 10 + Mn / 5 + 5Cr / 22 ≦ 0.85 (1)
 wherein each element symbol in the formula (1), the content of the corresponding element (mass%) is substituted.
[0026]
 fn1 = is defined as C + Si / 10 + Mn / 5 + 5Cr / 22. C, Si, Mn, and Cr are both an element that enhances the hardenability. Therefore, fn1 is a hardenability and cold workability index.
[0027]
 If fn1 is too low, no sufficient hardenability can not be obtained. In this case, the cold forging refining products, high tensile strength and high fatigue strength can not be obtained. On the other hand, if fn1 is too high, it is too high hardenability of the rolling bars. In this case, when manufacturing the rolled bars and rolled finishing a billet, and bainite is produced in the steel increases the strength and hardness, cold workability is deteriorated. In this case, drawing process of the next step and, prior to cold forging process, to be performed multiple times for a long period of time softening heat treatment, sufficient cold workability can not be obtained.
[0028]
 fn1 is satisfies the equation (1), while obtaining excellent hardenability and fatigue strength, without a plurality of times for a long period of time softening heat treatment, sufficient cold workability are obtained.
[0029]
 (D) in order to increase the fatigue strength and hydrogen embrittlement resistance of cold forged microalloyed products, to reduce the inclusions in the steel, or, it is effective to fine inclusions. If Cr content is about 1% of the steel, if greater than 1 the ratio of Mn content of the Si content in the steel, that is, if satisfied Equation (2) is, inclusions soft MnO- SiO 2 becomes. The inclusions vitrified is drawn and separated during rolling, it is miniaturized. Therefore, coarse inclusions to lower the fatigue strength is reduced, increased fatigue strength, and to improve the hydrogen embrittlement resistance.
 Si / Mn> 1.0 (2)
 wherein each element symbol in the formula (2), the content of the corresponding element (mass%) is substituted.
[0030]
 (E) cold workability of cold forging microalloyed products for rolling bars, in addition to the above matters, but also on the steel matrix tissue. Matrix organization is primarily mixed structure of pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite, and, the higher the area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite, excellent cold workability. Specifically, inside the matrix tissue during cold forging microalloyed products for rolling bars, it is a total area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite total 90% or more, and the area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite if but less than 30%, increased cold workability.

[0035]
 It described in detail below cold forged microalloyed products for rolling bars according to the invention. "%" Related elements, unless otherwise specified, it means mass%.
[0036]
 [Chemical composition]
 The chemical composition of cold forged microalloyed products for rolling bars of the present invention contains the following elements.
[0037]
 C: 0.22 ~ 0.40%
 carbon (C) increases the strength of steel. If C content is less than 0.22%, this effect can not be obtained. On the other hand, C content if it exceeds 0.40% the cold workability of the steel is lowered. Therefore, C content is 0.22 to 0.40%. A preferred lower limit of the C content in the case of further enhancing the hardenability is 0.26%. The preferable lower limit of C content is 0.24%, more preferably 0.26%. The preferable upper limit of the C content in the case of further increasing the cold workability is 0.35%.
[0038]
 Si: 0.35 ~ 1.5%
 silicon (Si), the deoxidizing steel. Si further, to strengthen the steel material in solid solution in the ferrite. Si further suppresses the precipitation of cementite increases the temper softening resistance of the steel.
[0039]
 Si also has the following advantages. MnO-SiO deoxidation product 2 The melting point of as low as 1250 ° C.. Therefore, MnO-SiO 2 is liquid at the melt prior to solidification, after solidification, the inclusions soft vitrified. MnO-SiO 2 is miniaturized be stretched and separated during hot rolling. Therefore, fatigue strength and reduces the coarse inclusions which inhibit the hydrogen embrittlement resistance, enhanced fatigue strength and hydrogen embrittlement resistance.
[0040]
 Proper MnO-SiO 2 generates and, in order to enhance the temper softening resistance after tempering treatment, the Si content defined in JIS standard chrome steel (from 0.15 to 0.35%) it is insufficient. Specifically, Si content is less than 0.35%, not the effect. On the other hand, if it exceeds Si content of 1.5%, the strength of the steel material becomes too high, the cold workability is deteriorated. Therefore, Si content is 0.35 to 1.5%. A preferable lower limit of Si content is 0.36%, more preferably 0.38%. If further enhance the cold workability, the preferred upper limit of the Si content is less than 1.0%.
[0041]
 Mn: 0.20 ~ 0.40%
 manganese (Mn) is to enhance the hardenability of steel and increases the toughness. When Mn content is less than 0.20%, these effects can not be obtained. On the other hand, if the Mn content is too high, when the refining was conducted, Mn is segregated at the grain boundaries sometimes promote grain boundary fracture. In addition, proper-SiO MnO 2 , it is difficult to obtain. Therefore, hydrogen embrittlement resistance is deteriorated. In the Mn content specified in JIS standard chrome steel (0.60 to 0.85%), difficult to suppress grain boundary fracture due to segregation, proper MnO-SiO 2 are difficult to obtain. Therefore, Mn content is from 0.20 to .40%. The preferable lower limit of the Mn content is 0.22% and a preferable upper limit is 0.35%.
[0042]
 P: less than 0.020% or
 phosphorus (P) is an impurity. P tends to segregate in the austenite grain boundaries, after the refining process, cause of grilled cracking and intergranular fracture. Accordingly, P content is less than 0.020% or. The preferable upper limit of the P content is less than 0.010%. P content is preferably as small as possible.
[0043]
 S: less than 0.015%
 sulfur (S) is an impurity. S lowers the cold workability to form a sulfide. Thus, S content is less than 0.015%. S content is preferably as small as possible.
[0044]
 Cr: 0.70 ~ 1.45%
 chromium (Cr) increases the hardenability of steel. If Cr content is less than 0.70%, this effect can not be obtained. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1.45 percent Cr content, bainite is generated in too high hardenability after hot rolling cooling. In this case, the strength of the steel is excessively high, the cold workability of rolled bars decreases. Therefore, Cr content is from 0.70 to 1.45%. A preferable lower limit of Cr content is 0.90%, and the preferable upper limit is 1.20%.
[0045]
 Al: 0.005 ~ 0.060%
 of aluminum (Al) is deoxidized steel. Al further, AlN was formed by combining the N, to secure the N. Al further by pinning effect of AlN particles and suppresses austenite grains coarsening during heating. If Al content is less than 0.005%, these effects can not be obtained. On the other hand, if the Al content exceeds the 0.060%, Al 2 O 3 is excessively generated cold workability is deteriorated. Therefore, Al content is 0.005 to 0.060%. When increasing the cold workability, the preferred upper limit of Al content is 0.060%, more preferably 0.050%, still more preferably 0.045%. In the chemical composition of the cold forged microalloyed products for rolling bars according to the present invention, Al content is meant the total amount of Al contained in the steel.
[0046]
 Ti: 0.01 ~ 0.05%
 titanium (Ti) is, TiN was formed by combining the N, to secure the N. Ti further by pinning effect of TiN particles, suppress austenite grain coarsening during heating. If the Ti content is less than 0.01%, these effects can not be obtained. On the other hand, if Ti content exceeds the 0.05%, Ti (C, N ) and many precipitates, the strength of the steel material becomes excessively high. In this case, it decreases the cold workability of the steel. Therefore, Ti content is 0.01 to 0.05%. A preferable lower limit of the Ti content is 0.05%. The preferable upper limit of the Ti content is 0.045%.
[0047]
 B: 0.0003 ~ 0.0040%
 boron (B) increases the hardenability of steel. B further suppress the grain boundary segregation of P, enhances hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the steel. If B content is less than 0.0003%, these effects can not be obtained. On the other hand, B content if it exceeds 0.0040%, the effect of improving hardenability is saturated. Further, coarse BN is generated workability and toughness cold reduced. Therefore, B content is 0.0003 to 0.0040 percent. If B is to form a BN combined with solid solution N, since the amount of solid solution B is lowered, hardenability decreases. The solid solute B amount is sufficient, the preferred lower limit of the B content to further increase the hardenability is 0.0005%, more preferably 0.0010%. The preferable upper limit of the B content to further suppress a decrease in cold workability and toughness are 0.0030%, more preferably 0.0025%.
[0048]
 N: 0.0020 ~ 0.0080%
 nitrogen (N) combines with Al or Ti in the steel to produce nitrides, inhibit austenite grain coarsening during heating. If N content is less than 0.0020%, this effect can not be obtained. On the other hand, N content if it exceeds 0.0080%, BN is generated excessively, the amount of solute B decreases. In this case, hardenability of the steel is lowered. Therefore, N content is from 0.0020 to 0.0080 percent. The preferable lower limit of the N content is 0.0022%. The preferable upper limit of the N content to further increase the hardenability is less than 0.0070%, more preferably 0.0060%.
[0049]
 O: 0.0020% or less
 oxygen (O) is an impurity. O decreases the cold workability by forming an oxide. If O content exceeds 0.0020%, the oxides are produced in large quantities, MnS is coarse, cold workability is significantly decreased. Therefore, O content is 0.0020%. The preferable upper limit of the O content is 0.0018%. O content is preferably as small as possible.
[0050]
 The remainder of the chemical composition of the cold forged microalloyed products for rolling bars according to the invention consists of Fe and impurities. Here, the impurity, when the industrial production of the rolling bars, ore as a raw material, there is to be mixed etc. Scrap or manufacturing environment, the allowable range of the present invention does not adversely affect It is the means something.

[0052]
 Cu: 0 ~ 0.50%
 copper (Cu) is an optional element and may not be contained. If contained, Cu increases the hardenability of steel. However if it exceeds 0.50% of Cu content, it tends to generate bainite too high hardenability. In this case, the cold workability is deteriorated. Therefore, Cu content is 0 to 0.50%. The preferable lower limit of the Cu content to obtain the above effect more effectively is 0.02%, more preferably 0.05%. When increasing the cold workability, the preferred upper limit of the Cu content is 0.30%, more preferably 0.20%.
[0053]
 Ni: 0 ~ 0.30%
 nickel (Ni) is an optional element and may not be contained. If contained, Ni increases the hardenability of steel, further enhances also grain boundary strength. However, if Ni content exceeds 0.30%, its effect is saturated, steel cost increases. Therefore, Ni content is from 0 to 0.30%. A preferable lower limit of the Ni content in order to obtain the above effect more effectively is 0.01%, more preferably 0.03%. When increasing the cold workability, the preferred upper limit of the Ni content is 0.20%, more preferably from 0.10%.
[0054]

 The formula (1) each element symbol in the content of the corresponding element (mass%) is substituted.
[0059]
 fn1 = C + Si / 10 + Mn / 5 + 5Cr / 22 is indicative of the strength and cold workability of the steel. fn1 denotes the carbon equivalent of the steel. If fn1 is too low, sufficient hardenability can not be obtained, no tensile strength and fatigue strength. On the other hand, if fn1 is too high, too high hardenability. In this case, when the rolling bars are rolled, it is generated bainite and / or martensite, the strength and hardness of the steel becomes too high, the cold workability is deteriorated. In this case, drawing process of the next step by using the rolling bars, and, before the cold forging process, to the rolling bars, to be performed multiple times for a long period of time softening heat treatment, sufficient not obtained workability cold. If fn1 is 0.50 to 0.85 while obtaining excellent hardenability, without carrying out long softening heat treatment, sufficient cold workability are obtained. A preferred lower limit of the fn1 is 0.55. A preferred upper limit of the fn1 is 0.80.

 wherein each element symbol in the formula (2), the content of the corresponding element (mass%) is substituted.
[0061]
 fn2 = is defined as Si / Mn. Si and Mn, MnO-SiO in the process of deoxidation 2 generates a. MnO-SiO 2 is a melting point of about 1250 ° C.. Therefore, in the molten metal prior to solidification is a liquid, it is solid at slab in after solidification, the inclusions soft vitrified. The inclusions are fine be stretched and separated during hot rolling. Therefore, fatigue strength is improved, thereby improving the hydrogen embrittlement resistance. Fine MnO-SiO 2 in order to obtain, it is necessary to properly control the ratio Mn of Si. This index is fn2.
[0062]
 As fn2 increases, fatigue strength and hydrogen embrittlement resistance of cold forged microalloyed article produced by using the rolling bars increases. When the fn2 exceeds 1.0, excellent in significantly hydrogen embrittlement resistance than SCM435 of JIS standard. Therefore, as shown in equation (2), a fn2> 1.0. A preferred lower limit of the fn2 is 1.2.
[0063]
 [Matrix tissue and tensile strength]
 matrix tissue cold forging microalloyed products for rolling bars according to the invention consists mainly pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite. The term "predominantly matrix organization consisting of pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite" as used herein, in a matrix organization, means that the total area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite is 90% or more. The remainder of the matrix organization cold forging microalloyed products for rolling bars according to the invention are, for example, bainite and martensite. Furthermore, the tensile strength of the cold forged microalloyed products for rolling bars according to the invention is less than 700 MPa.
[0064]
 Pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite are softer than bainite, excellent cold workability. In addition, the pro-eutectoid ferrite is excellent in cold workability than pearlite. The total area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite is less than 90 percent, or, if pro-eutectoid ferrite area ratio is less than 30%, no sufficient cold workability can not be obtained. And the pro-eutectoid ferrite and the total area ratio of pearlite of 90% or more, and, if the area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite is 30% or more, resulting excellent cold workability.
[0065]

[0067]
 Matrix organization is measured by the following methods. R / 2 parts of rolled bars (R is the distance to the outer surface from the central axis of The bar) obtaining a sample from. Of the samples taken of the surface, and the observation plane surface perpendicular to the rolling direction of the rolling bars. After polishing the observation surface, etched with a 3% nitric acid alcohol (nital corrosion solution). The etched observed surface was observed at 500-power optical microscope, to produce a photographic image of any five field.
[0068]

Similarly, the total area of the pro-eutectoid ferrite in all viewing, the ratio of total area of all field, is defined as a pro-eutectoid ferrite area ratio (%).
[0069]
 [Preferred outer diameters of the rolling bars]
 Preferably, the diameter Dc of the rolling bars (critical diameter, the unit is mm) satisfies the following formula (A).
 D C = 4 × (0.70Si + 1.0) × (3.33Mn + 1.0) × (2.16Cr + 1.0) (A)
 wherein each element symbol, the content of the corresponding element (mass%) There is assigned.
[0070]
 The hardenability of the prediction, for example, described in Non-Patent Document 1. Assume an example of the steel consistent with the present invention. C content is 0.3%, the grain size number of austenite grains No. Reference diameter D of 8 round bar B is about 0.165 inches (about 4 mm). Here, reference diameter D B and the critical diameter obtained in C content only means (round bar central portion diameter is 50% martensite). Reference diameter D B by using the critical diameter D C that defines the.
[0071]
 Critical diameter D took into consideration the effect of improving the hardenability due to alloying elements (hardenability multiples) C is, D C = D B × f (Si) × f (Mn) × f (Cr), is expressed by the formula. Here, f (X) is a function of the amount X of alloying elements X, called specific hardenability multiples each alloy element. In the present invention, by using the numerical values described in Non-Patent Document 1, it is defined by the following equation.
 f
 (Si) = 0.70Si + 1.0
 f (Mn) = 3.33Mn + 1.0 f (Cr) = 2.16Cr + 1.0
 Thus, in the present invention, the critical diameter D of the rolled bars which hardenability is ensured C It is defined by the following formula (a).
 D C = 4 × (0.70Si + 1.0) × (3.33Mn + 1.0) × (2.16Cr + 1.0) (A)
[0072]
 The diameter of the rolled bars are critical diameter D C as long or less, more sufficient hardenability can be obtained.
[0073]
 [Manufacturing Method]
 [Cold Forging microalloyed products for rolling bars of Production Method]
 An example of the production method of the present invention cold forged microalloyed products for rolling bars by will be described. Method for producing a rolled bars of the present embodiment includes a step of producing a billet (slabbing step), a step of rolling the manufactured billet bars (finish-rolling step). Below, it will be described in detail each of the steps.
[0074]
 [Slabbing step]
 First, prepare a material having the above chemical composition. For example, material can be prepared in the following manner. Molten steel having the chemical composition described above, produced using a converter and an electric furnace or the like. Producing slab by continuous casting method using a molten steel. Or, to produce an ingot by ingot method using the molten steel.
[0075]
 After heating the prepared material (slab, an ingot), and slabbing with blooming mill, if necessary, be further rolled in a continuous rolling mill after slabbing to prepare a billet. In continuous rolling mills, horizontal stand, vertical stand are arranged in a row alternately, by rolling the material with a grooved formed in the rolling roll in each stand, to the billet.
[0076]
 Preferred heating temperature of slabbing material before is 1200 ° C. or higher. If the heating temperature is 1200 ° C. or higher, Ti (C, N) generated during solidification of the material and TiC such coarse carbonitrides, carbides are dissolved upon heating. Since the coarse carbonitrides is inhibited, increases cold workability of the rolling bars.
[0077]
 Finishing rolling step]
 was further carried out hot rolling with respect to the billet produced by blooming rolling process, to produce a cold forged microalloyed products for rolling bars.
[0078]
 First, they were charged a billet in a heating furnace and heated. Preferred heating temperature is 1050 ° C. or less. If the heating temperature during product rolling is too high, fine carbides and carbonitrides precipitated after slabbing process forms a solid solution again. In this case, when the ferrite transformation during cooling after finish rolling, carbides and carbonitrides are precipitated aligned. The precipitated carbonitrides and carbides enhances the strength of the steel after product rolling, to reduce the cold workability. If the heating temperature is 1050 ° C. or less, since excessive dissolution of carbides and carbonitrides is suppressed during heating, it is possible to further enhance the cold workability.
[0079]
 Using a heated billet, finish rolling at a finish rolling mill train (hot rolling) to make the bars of a predetermined diameter. Finish rolling mill train includes a plurality of stands arranged in a row. Each stand includes a plurality of rolls arranged around a pass line. And rolling the billet by using a grooved formed in the rolling roll in each stand, to produce a rolled bars.
[0080]
 Manufacturing conditions in the finish rolling using the finish rolling mill train is as follows.
[0081]
 Finishing temperature: 750 ~ 850 ° C.
 finishing temperatures among the plurality of stands of the finishing rolling mill train, the last stand of rolling the billet (hereinafter, referred to as the finishing stand) means a surface temperature of the billet at the exit side of (℃) to. Finishing temperature is determined by measuring the surface temperature of the billet by using an infrared radiation thermometer disposed on the exit side of the finishing stands.
[0082]
 If the finishing temperature is below 750 ° C., ferrite transformation begins austenite grains non-recrystallized matrix structure after cooling is too fine. In this case, the tensile strength of the steel exceeds 700 MPa, cold workability is deteriorated. On the other hand, if the finishing temperature exceeds 850 ° C., the austenite grains after recrystallization coarse, starting temperature of ferrite transformation becomes low. Therefore, the area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite after cooling is reduced. Furthermore, there is a case where the hard tissue of bainite or the like is generated. As a result, the tensile strength of the steel exceeds 700 MPa, cold workability is deteriorated.
[0083]
 If the finishing temperature is 750 ~ 850 ° C., under the condition that later cooling condition is satisfied, the matrix organization consists of pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite. Specifically, the total area of ​​the pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite in the matrix structure is 90% or more.
[0084]
 Processing rate Z: 5 ~ 15 / sec
 processing rate Z (/ sec) is defined by equation (3).
 Z = -ln (1-R) / t (3)
 R in formula (3) is a cross-sectional reduction rate in the finish rolling by the finishing mill train (%). t is the finish rolling time (in seconds).
[0085]
 Reduction of area R is defined by Equation (4).
 = R (A 0 -A) / A 0 (4)
 Equation (4) A in 0 , the cross-sectional area of the billet before finish rolling (mm 2 are), A is the cross-sectional bars after the finish rolling area (mm 2 is).
[0086]
 Finish rolling time t is the time to pass through the rolling mill train finish billet, finishing mill first stand average from (mill) distance to the last stand (rolling mill) (m) to billets conveying column is a value obtained by dividing (s) at a speed (m / sec).
[0087]
 If processing speed Z is 5-15 / sec, matrix organization less likely to be fine after cooling, it is possible to the tensile strength of bars than 700 MPa. As a result, it increased cold workability. If it is less than the processing rate Z is 5 / sec, recrystallization does not occur sufficiently, hardenability austenite grains becomes rough to increase. This reduces the area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite, increases hard bainite or martensite structure area ratio of the tensile strength of the rolled bars exceeds 700 MPa. If processing speed Z is exceeds 15 / s, the austenite grains finer by recrystallization, although hardenability is increased eutectoid ferrite area ratio decreases, the ferrite crystal grains bars too fine the tensile strength is more than 700MPa.
[0088]
 Cooling rate to finish rolling after 500 ℃: 0.2 ~ 5.0 ℃ / sec
 after finish rolling, cooling rate until the surface temperature of the rolled bars is 500 ° C. is 0.2 ~ 5.0 ° C. / is seconds. If the cooling rate is 0.2 ~ 5.0 ° C. / sec, the total area of the pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite in the matrix structure is 90% or more, the area ratio of the pro-eutectoid ferrite can be 30% or more. If it exceeds the cooling rate is 5.0 ° C. / sec, bainite or the like of the hard becomes easily generated in the steel, the tensile strength of the rolled bars exceeds 700 MPa. The lower limit of the cooling rate is not particularly limited, considering the actual production operations, the lower limit of the cooling rate is, for example, 0.2 ° C. / sec.
[0089]
 With the above-described manufacturing process, cold forging for rolling bars of the present invention is produced. That is, cold forging for rolling the bars, the so-called rolling Mom material (Azuroru material). Matrix organization of cold-forged products for rolling bars consists of pro-eutectoid ferrite and pearlite, the tensile strength is less than or equal to 700MPa. Therefore, excellent cold workability.
[0090]

 [Softening heat treatment for]
 In the manufacturing method of the conventional cold forging, for the purpose of softening the tensile strength too high bars, before before wire drawing and cold forging, has a softening heat treatment was performed multiple times. However, the rolling bars according to the invention, by satisfying the equation (1), excellent cold workability. Therefore, omitting the softening heat treatment, or can be simplified.
[0094]
 [Refining process (quenching and tempering process)
 with respect to cold forging, to implement the refining in a known condition (hardening and tempering), to produce a cold forged microalloyed products.
