Abstract: The present invention provides a part having a composition including, with the contents being expressed in weight-percent, 0.10?C?0.30, 1.6?Mn?2.1, 0.5?Cr?1.7, 0.5?Si?1.0, 0.065?Nb?0.15, 0.0010?B?0.0050, 0.0010?N?0.0130, 0?Al?0.060, 0?Mo?1.00, 0?Ni?1.0, 0.01?Ti?0.07, 0?V?0.3, 0?P?0.050, 0.01?S?0.1, 0?Cu?0.5, 0?Sn?0.1. A balance of the composition includes iron and unavoidable impurities resulting from the production method. The microstructure includes, in surface proportions, from 100% to 70% bainite, less than 30% residual austenite, and less than 5% ferrite. A manufacturing method is also provided.

Abstract: The inventive average or small size mechanical steel part is produced by hot forging or cold stamping i.e. by plastic processing of a long ferrous semi-product which is obtainable by continuous casting and hot rolling in the austenitic phase and, afterwards is shaped by plastic deformation and heat treated in order to obtain a metallographic structure substentially containing an acicular ferrite at least in mechanical toughness and fatigue stress areas. The composition of said steel, apart from iron and inevitable residual impurities resulting from steel production, corresponds at least to the following analysis: 0.2-0.5% C, 0.5-2.0% Mn, 0.05-0.5% V, 0.6 1.5% Si, 0.05 1.0% Cr, 0.01-0.5% Mo, 0.02-0.10 S, preferably from 0.01 to 0.02% Ti and/or up to 0.20% Al, and from 5 to 30 ppm of Ca.
