For easily producing a toothed material for high-strength gears etc. with a plastic working technique, deformation resistance occurring in plastic working is reduced and stable high precision plastic working is enabled at lower temperatures. One or more types of heat treatment selected from carburization, carbonitriding and nitriding and a hardening process are applied to an alloy steel material containing: iron as a main component; at least 1.0 to 4.5 wt % Si; 0.35 wt % or less C; and balance Fe and unavoidable impurities, whereby a rolling element is obtained which has a surface layer mainly composed of martensite containing no alpha-Fe phase and of residual austenite and an inner structure cooled from an (alpha+gamma)-Fe two phase region.
