ABSTRACT:
A steel material for a high strength constant velocity joint intermediate shaft is provided. The steal material may preferably contain C: 0.46 to 0.52%, Si: 0.6 to 0.8%, Mn: 0.7 to 0.9%, S: 0.01 to 0.05%, Mo: 0.3 to 0.5%, B: 0.0005 to 0.005%, Al: 0.002 to 0.05%, and Ti: 0.02 to 0.09%, restricting N to 0.007% or less, Cr to 0.15% or less, and P to 0.02% or less. A structural percentage of bainite+martensite may be provided which is 40% or more. The steal material may have a hardness of 250 HV to 340 HV. A high strength constant velocity joint intermediate shaft made of that steel material may be provided which has a spline-vanishing part with a surface hardness of about 610 HV to 750 HV, and a ratio t/r of an effective hardened layer depth t and radius r of 0.35 to 0.55, having a flat part with a surface hardness of about 630 HV to 770 HV and a ratio t/r of 0.55 to 1.0, and having a core hardness of about 250 HV to 340 HV.
