A component is subjected to carburizing treatment and then induction-hardening treatment, and is formed from steel consisting essentially of, by mass, C: minimum 0.08% and under 0.3%; Si: maximum 2.0%; Mn: from 0.2% to 3.0%; P: maximum 0.03%; S: from 0.005% to 0.05%; Ni: maximum 1.5%; Cr: maximum 3.0%; Mo: maximum 1.0%; O: maximum 0.0025%; and N: from 0.005% to 0.03%; and further including either or both of, by mass, Al: from 0.005% to 0.05%, and Ti: from 0.005% to 0.05%; and still further including either or both of, by mass, V: maximum 0.3%, and Nb: maximum 0.3%; and a residual portion includes Fe and unavoidable impurities. The hardness of a surface layer is at least 55 HRC and the hardness of a core part is from 20 to 50 HRC. A metal structure of the core part does not include a martensite structure.
