Abstract:
An electric resistance welded steel pipe for a torsion beam, in which a base metal portion includes, in terms of % by mass, 0.04 to 0.12% of C, 0.03 to 1.20% of Si, 0.30 to 2.50% of Mn, 0.08 to 0.24% of Ti, 0.005 to 0.500% of Al, 0.01 to 0.06% of Nb, and 0.0005 to 0.0100% of N, a balance including Fe and impurities, wherein Vc90, defined by the following Formulae (i) and (ii), is 200 or more, a mass ratio of Ti content to C content is from 0.85 to 5.00, an areal ratio of ferrite is 80% or more, an average crystal grain size of ferrite crystal grains is 10 μm or less, and an average aspect ratio of ferrite crystal grains is 2.0 or less, in a metallographic microstructure of a central portion in a wall thickness direction of the base metal portion; log Vc90=2.94−0.75(βa−1) Formula (i); βa=2.7C+0.4Si+Mn+0.45Ni+0.8Cr+Mo Formula (ii).
