Abstract

A steel for induction hardening according to the present invention includes a chemical composition consisting of, in mass percent: C: 0.58 to 0.68%, Si: 0.70 to 1.40%, Mn: 0.20 to 1.40%, Al: 0.005 to 0.060%, N: 0.0020 to 0.0080%, and Ca: 0.0005 to 0.005%, with the balance being Fe and impurities, and satisfies Formulae (1) to (3). The steel microstructure is made up of ferrite and by area fraction, 85% or more of pearlite. In the steel, a ratio of a number of composite inclusions to a total number of AlOinclusions and the composite inclusions that contain 2.0% or more of SiOand 2.0% or more of CaO is 20% or more./7+/5+/9+/2.5≤1.05  (1)/10+/20+/25≥0.70  (2)≤0.20  (3)
