A steel sheet has a chemical composition including in wt % C: 0.2-0.4%, Mn: 0.8-2.0%, Si: 0.1-0.5%, Al: 0.01-0.1%, Ti: 0.01-0.1%, B: 0.0005-0.005%, P≤0.040%, Ca≤0.01%, S≤0.006%, N≤0.01%. The steel sheet includes from the bulk to the surface of the coated steel sheet a bulk and a skin layer occupying the outermost 10% of the thickness on either side of the bulk. The bulk includes an inclusion population in which the sum of clustering indexes of MnS and TiN/Ti(C,N) inclusions is less than or equal to 300 μm/mm. This allows to manufacture hot pressed parts having a tensile strength equal to or greater than 1300 MPa and a bending anisotropy equal to or lower than 7°.

The steel sheet includes from the bulk to the surface of the coated steel sheet a bulk and a skin layer occupying the outermost 10% of the thickness on either side of the bulk. The bulk is topped by a skin layer occupying the outermost 10% of the thickness on either side of the bulk, the density of TiN/Ti(C,N) inclusions in the skin being smaller than 240 particles/mmand the clustering index of MnS inclusions in the skin being lower than 110 μm/mm. This allows to manufacture hot pressed parts having a tensile strength equal to or greater than 1300 MPa and a bending angle normalized to 1.5 mm and measured in the transverse direction strictly greater than 48°.
