  • Publication number: 20220307117
    Abstract: Provided is an electric-resistance-welded steel pipe or tube for hollow stabilizer where the formation of not only a ferrite decarburized layer but also a total decarburization layer can be suppressed even when heat treatment is performed in the air so that a hollow stabilizer having excellent fatigue resistance can be obtained. The electric-resistance-welded steel pipe or tube for hollow stabilizer has a predetermined chemical composition, and the depths of total decarburized layers on an inner surface and on an outer surface are 100 ?m or less.
