Abstract: The present invention provides a method for obtaining a carburized part using steel high in content of Cr and realizing bending fatigue strength at an extremely high level by vacuum carburizing. The carburized part is obtained by treating a steel material having a predetermined chemical composition by vacuum carburizing provided with a carburizing period of 10 to 200 minutes at 850 to 1100° C. and a diffusion period of 15 to 300 minutes at 850 to 1100° C., then quenching and tempering it.

Abstract: Provided are a bolt that exhibits excellent delayed fracture resistance at a high strength level of from 1,200 MPa to less than 1,600 MPa in tensile strength, where the possibility of delayed fracture is generally quite high, and a steel material for a bolt to be used as the material for such a bolt. The bolt has a composition satisfying Formulae (1) and (2), and a tensile strength of from 1,200 MPa to less than 1,600 MPa. In Formula (1) and Formula (2), Mo and V represent the contents (% by mass) of Mo and V contained in the steel for a bolt, respectively. 0.48?Mo/1.4+V<1.10 ??(1) 0.8<Mo/V<3.
