wherein C and Ni satisfy relational expression 1 as below, and

wherein a microstructure includes 95 area % or more of martensite and 5% or less of bainite (including 0%),

[C]×[Ni]≥0.231.  [Relational Expression 1]

2 . The abrasion resistant steel of claim 1 , wherein the abrasion resistant steel further includes one or more selected from a group consisting of 0.05% or less of arsenic (As) (excluding 0), 0.050 or less of tin (Sn) (excluding 0), and 0.05% or less of tungsten (W) (excluding 0).

3 . The abrasion resistant steel of claim 1 , wherein the abrasion resistant steel secures hardness of 550-650 HB, and has 21 J or more at a low temperature of −40° C.,

where HB is surface hardness of the steel measured by the Brinell hardness tester.

4 . The abrasion resistant steel of claim 1 , wherein the abrasion resistant steel has hardness (HB) and impact absorption energy (J) satisfying relational expression 2 as below,

HB÷J≤31.0,  [Relational Expression 2]

where HB is surface hardness of the steel measured by the Brinell hardness tester, and J is an impact absorption energy value at −40° C.

5 . The abrasion resistant steel of claim 1 , wherein the abrasion resistant steel has a thickness of 60 mm or less.

6 . A method of manufacturing an abrasion resistant steel having excellent hardness and impact toughness, the method comprising:

heating a steel slab including, by weight %, 0.33-0.42% of carbon (C), 0.1-0.7% of silicon (Si), 0.6-1.6% of manganese (Mn), 0.05% or less of phosphorus (P) (excluding 0), 0.02% or less of sulfur (S) (excluding 0), 0.07% or less of aluminum (Al) (excluding 0), 0.55-5.0% of nickel (Ni), 0.01-1.5% of copper (Cu), 0.01-0.8% of chromium (Cr), 0.01-0.8% of molybdenum (Mo), 50 ppm or less of boron (B) (excluding 0), and 0.02% or less of cobalt (Co) (excluding 0) and further comprising one or more selected from a group consisting of 0.02% or less of titanium (Ti) (excluding 0), 0.05% or less of niobium (Nb) (excluding 0), 0.05% or less of vanadium (V) (excluding 0) and 2-100 ppm of calcium (Ca), with a balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities, where C and Ni satisfy relational expression 1 as below, in a temperature range of 1050-1250° C.;

obtaining a rough-rolled bar by rough-rolling the reheated steel slab in a temperature range of 950-1050° C.;
