Disclosed is a non-heat treated steel for soft niriding, which can provide forged parts exhibiting equal to or larger than the limit strain at which cracks occur in straightening by bending and equal to or larger than the fatigue strength when compared with the parts of conventional heat treated steel, such as S48C. The non-heat treated steel for soft nitriding consists essentially of, by weight, C: 0.2-0.6%, Si: 0.05-1.0%, Mn: 0.25-1.0%, S: 0.03-0.2%, Cr: up to 0.2%, sol-Al: up to 0.045%, Ti: 0.002-0.01%, N: 0.005-0.025%, and O: 0.001-0.005%; provided that the conditions,are met; the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities; and the structure after hot forging being a mixed structure of ferrite and pearlite.
