The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile steel and particularly relates to non-quenched steel for camshafts and a preparation method of the non-quenched steel. The steel is preparedfrom the chemical components in percentage by
mass: 0.42%-0.49% of C, 0.30%-0.60% of Si, 1.00%-1.50% of Mn, 0.06-0.13% of V, 0.035%-0.075% of S, less than or equal to 0.035% of P, less than or equal to 0.30% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.30% of Ni, less than or equal to 0.30% of Cu, 0.010%-0.040% of Alt, less than or equal to 15 ppm of [O], and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities, specifically, C+Si / 6+Mn / 4.5+1.8*V is equal to 1-1.1. Electric furnace
smelting and LF refining are adopted, desulfuration, then sulfuration and proper
calcium treatment process are adopted in the refining process, and Mn / S is controlled. The vacuum
treatment time of the steel is longer than or equal to 12 minutes, and the soft blowing time is longer than or equal to 20 minutes. A
casting blank is cast through
continuous casting, the pulling speed and the superheat degree are controlled, and the
continuous casting of twelve furnaces or more is achieved. The heating and soaking temperature, the
heating time, the initial rolling temperature, the final rolling temperature, the
cooling speed and the like are controlled in the rolling process, and finally, peeling and flaw detection are carried out, so that high-quality round steel is obtained; and the round steel can meet the requirement for direct
cutting processing.
