Preparation method of steel product having different strengths using laser heat treatment, and heat hardened steel used therein

Abstract

Disclosed are a preparation method of a steel product capable of local reinforcement using laser heat treatment, and a heat hardened steel used in the method. According to the present invention, the preparation method of a steel part comprises the following steps: (a) preparing a material comprising 0.1-0.5 wt % of C, 0.1-0.5 wt % of Si, 0.5-3.0 wt % of Mn, 0.1 wt % or less of P, 0.05 wt % or less of S, 0.01-1.0 wt % of Cr, 0.1 wt % or less of Al, 0.2 wt % or less of Ti, 0.0005-0.08 wt % of B, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities; (b) preparing a formed product by forming the material into a predetermined shape; and (c) locally reinforcing the high strength portion by carrying out laser heat treatment on a portion requiring high strength at the formed product.
