Abstract

A manufacturing method of a steel component includes: heating a steel sheet in a carburizing atmosphere to form a carburized layer on a surface of the steel sheet, the steel sheet having: a chemical composition represented by: in mass %, C: 0.0005 to 0.1%; Si: 0.01 to 2.0%; Mn: 0.05 to 3.0%; Al: 0.9% or less; P: 0.05% or less; S: 0.01% or less; Ti: 0.0 to 0.2%; Nb: 0.0 to 0.1%; Cr: 0 to 2%; Mo: 0.0 to 0.2%; B: 0.000 to 0.005%; and the balance: Fe and impurities; and a steel structure represented by ferrite with an area fraction of 70% or more; and forming the steel sheet by using metal dies, and performing quenching on the steel sheet in a state of housing the steel sheet in the metal dies to transform the carburized layer into martensite and make a part of the steel sheet on the further inside than the carburized layer to be a steel structure represented by ferrite with an area fraction of 50% or more.
