The steel material is subjected to a hot-rolling step in which the heating temperature and finish-rolling final temperature of the steel material are each within an appropriate range, is slow cooled at a temperature of 650°C to 750°C for 2 s or more, and is then coiled at a temperature of 510°C to 660°C, whereby a hot-rolled steel strip is obtained. The hot-rolled steel strip has a microstructure containing 60 volume percent or more of a ferrite phase which has an average grain size of 2 µm to 8 µm and which contains a precipitate of a (Nb, Ti) composite carbide having an average grain size of 2 nm to 40 nm. The hot-rolled steel strip is subjected to an electrically welded tube-making step in which the width reduction of the strip is 10% or less, whereby a welded steel tube is obtained. This allows the high-tensile strength welded steel tube to have a large yield strength of greater than 660 MPa, excellent low-temperature toughness, excellent formability, and excellent torsional fatigue endurance after being stress-relief annealed.
