Abstract
A high-strength, high-toughness steel with good workability is produced by working a steel containing 0.005-0.3% C and 0.3-2.5% Mn and optionally up to 1.5% Si, in the course of hot working thereof, at temperatures within the range of from the Ar.sub.3 point to 930.degree. C. or to 980.degree. C. (for a steel containing Nb, V, Ti and/or Zr) at an area reduction rate of at least 30%, and, in the course of cooling, rapidly cooling the steel in the ferrite phase precipitation temperature range when the ferrite phase has occupied 5-65% or 5-60% (for a steel with Si and/or Nb, V, Ti and/or Zr) of the steel, whereby a two-phase structure comprising ferrite and martensite is produced.
