Abstract

The invention relates to a hot-rolled steel sheet having a tensile strength greater than 800 MPa and an elongation at break greater than 10%, the composition of which comprises, the contents being expressed by weight: 0.050%≦C≦0.090%, 1%≦Mn≦2%, 0.015%≦Al≦0.050%, 0.1%≦Si≦0.3%, 0.10%≦Mo≦0.40%, S≦0.010%, P≦0.025%, 0.003%≦N≦0.009%, 0.12%≦V≦0.22%, Ti≦0.005%, Nb≦0.020% and, optionally, Cr≦0.45%, the balance of the composition consisting of iron and inevitable impurities resulting from the smelting, the microstructure of the sheet or the part comprising, as a surface fraction, at least 80% upper bainite, the possible complement consisting of lower bainite, martensite and residual austenite, the sum of the martensite and residual austenite contents being less than 5%.
