1. A method for manufacturing a steel joined body having a plurality of steels joined together, the plurality of steels being medium-carbon steels, the method comprising:
disposing a carbonaceous material on at least one joining surface of steels to be joined together;
overlapping joining surfaces of the steels to be joined together having the carbonaceous material interposed between the joining surfaces; and
heating the steels having the joining surfaces overlapped at a maximum temperature of 1150° C. or higher and 1500° C. or lower,
the carbonaceous material being disposed to generate a liquid phase on the joining surfaces at the maximum temperature,
wherein a carbon concentration in a joint interface where the plurality of steels are joined together after the heating is adjusted to be 0.50 mass % or higher and 0.90 mass % or lower by controlling a heating and holding time at the maximum temperature.
