Process for manufacturing a forging

The invention relates to a method for fabricating a piece of structural steel that includes thermal or thermomechanical treatment steps that could ordinarily lower the fatigue strength and shock and impact resistance of the steel piece. In the method of the invention a workpiece of microalloy steel is fabricated containing the following elements in the mounts indicated and having a bainitic structure:
