Claim Text:
1. A manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet for gas nitrocarburizing, the method comprising: performing a first hot rolling, which includes one or more of rolling reduction having a rolling-reduction ratio of 40% or more at a temperature range of 1000° C. or more and 1200° C. or less, with respect to a steel ingot or a slab which includes, by mass %, C content [C]: C of more than 0.07% and equal to or less than 0.2%, Si content [Si]: Si of 0.001% or more and 2.5% or less, Mn content [Mn]: Mn of 0.01% or more and 4% or less, and Al content [Al]: Al of 0.001% or more and 2% or less, and P content [P] limited to 0.15% or less, S content [S] limited to 0.03% or less, and N content [N] limited to 0.01% or less, Ti content [Ti] contains Ti which satisfies the following Equation 1, and the balance consists of Fe and unavoidable impurities; starting a second hot rolling at a temperature range of 1000° C. or more within 150 seconds after a completion of the first hot rolling; wherein the second rolling includes one or more of rolling reduction having a rolling-reduction ratio of 30% or more in a temperature range of T1+30° C. or more and T1+200° C. or less when temperature determined by a component of the steel sheet in the following Equation 2 is defined as T1° C. in the second hot rolling and a total of the rolling-reduction ratio is 50% or more; performing a third hot rolling, in which a total of the rolling-reduction ratio is 30% or less, at a temperature range equal to or more than an Ar3 transformation point temperature and less than T1+30° C.; ending the hot rollings at the Ar3 transformation point temperature or more; when a pass having rolling-reduction ratio of 30% or more at the temperature range of T1+30° C. or more and T1+200° C. or less is a large rolling-reduction pass, performing a cooling, in which a cooling temperature change is 40° C. or more and 140° C. or less and a cooling end temperature is T1+100° C. or less, at a cooling rate of 50° C./second or more so that a waiting time t second from a completion of a final pass of the large rolling-reduction passes to a start of the cooling satisfies the following Equation 3; and coiling the steel sheet at more than 550° C.; wherein, t1 is represented by the following Equation (Equation 4), wherein, Tf is a temperature in ° C. after the final pass rolling reduction of the large rolling-reduction passes and P1 is a rolling-reduction ratio in % of the final pass of the large rolling-reduction passes.
