Abstract

[Object] To provide a nitrided plate part that exhibits fatigue strength equivalent to or better than that of a carburized member, and a method for producing the same. [Solution] Provided is a nitrided plate part having predetermined components and structure. Nitrogen average content in a range in which a distance from a sheared end face of the part toward an interior of the nitrided plate part in a sheared end face normal direction is equal to or greater than 0.05 mm and equal to or less than 0.10 mm is equal to or greater than 0.4000% and equal to or less than 1.2000% in mass %, and minimum nitrogen content in a range in which the distance is equal to or greater than 0.015 mm and equal to or less than 0.200 mm is 0.0600% or more. After uncoiling a steel sheet coil, stretch and compressive deformation in a range of equal to or greater than 0.03% and equal to or less than 3.00% in amount of plastic strain are alternately applied to a surface layer of a steel sheet. Then, shearing and press-forming are performed to make the steel sheet into a plate part shape, without recoiling the steel sheet again. Then, nitriding is performed under predetermined conditions.
