Abstract

Provided are: a boron-added high strength steel for bolt excellent in delayed fracture resistance even having a tensile strength of 1100 MPa or more without addition of large amounts of expensive alloy elements such as Cr and Mo: and a high strength bolt made from the boron-added high strength steel for bolt. The high strength steel for bolt contains C of 0.23% to less than 0.40%, Si of 0.23% to 1.50%, Mn of 0.30% to 1.45%, P of 0.03% or less (excluding 0%), S of 0.03% or less (excluding 0%), Cr of 0.05% to 1.5%, V of 0.02% to 0.30%, Ti of 0.02% to 0.1%, B of 0.0003% to 0.0050%, Al of 0.01% to 0.10%, and N of 0.002% to 0.010%, with the remainder being iron and inevitable impurities. The steel has a ratio ([Si]/[C]) of the Si content [Si] to the C content [C] of 1.0 or more and has a ferrite-pearlite mixed microstructure.
