A method for producing a steel member, the method comprising: carburizing the steel member until a carbon concentration becomes higher than a eutectoid composition while heating the steel member to a temperature higher than an austenite transformation completion temperature to be austenitized; pearlitizing austenite formed in the carburizing of the steel member, by cooling the steel member to a temperature lower than an austenite transformation start temperature and higher than a nose temperature of an isothermal transformation curve; and performing quenching by reheating the steel member to a temperature higher than the austenite transformation completion temperature and rapidly cooling the steel member after the pearlitizing of the austenite, wherein the pearlitizing of the austenite includes performing a first pearlite precipitation treatment of cooling the steel member to a first temperature lower than the austenite transformation start temperature and higher than 680°C and holding the steel member at the first temperature to pearlitize a part of the austenite formed in the carburizing of the steel member, and performing a second pearlite precipitation treatment of further cooling the steel member to a second temperature equal to or lower than 680°C and higher than the nose temperature and holding the steel member at the second temperature to pearlitize the austenite retained in the first pearlite precipitation treatment. carburizing the steel member until a carbon concentration becomes higher than a eutectoid composition while heating the steel member to a temperature higher than an austenite transformation completion temperature to be austenitized; pearlitizing austenite formed in the carburizing of the steel member, by cooling the steel member to a temperature lower than an austenite transformation start temperature and higher than a nose temperature of an isothermal transformation curve; and performing quenching by reheating the steel member to a temperature higher than the austenite transformation completion temperature and rapidly cooling the steel member after the pearlitizing of the austenite, wherein the pearlitizing of the austenite includes performing a first pearlite precipitation treatment of cooling the steel member to a first temperature lower than the austenite transformation start temperature and higher than 680°C and holding the steel member at the first temperature to pearlitize a part of the austenite formed in the carburizing of the steel member, and performing a second pearlite precipitation treatment of further cooling the steel member to a second temperature equal to or lower than 680°C and higher than the nose temperature and holding the steel member at the second temperature to pearlitize the austenite retained in the first pearlite precipitation treatment. performing a first pearlite precipitation treatment of cooling the steel member to a first temperature lower than the austenite transformation start temperature and higher than 680°C and holding the steel member at the first temperature to pearlitize a part of the austenite formed in the carburizing of the steel member, and performing a second pearlite precipitation treatment of further cooling the steel member to a second temperature equal to or lower than 680°C and higher than the nose temperature and holding the steel member at the second temperature to pearlitize the austenite retained in the first pearlite precipitation treatment.
