Patent ID: 10351926

Abstract:
A thick steel plate is provided by heating a continuously-cast slab, hot forging the continuously-cast slab using opposing dies having respective short sides differing such that when a short side length of a die having a shorter one of the short sides is taken to be 1, a short side length of a die having a longer one of the short sides is 1.1 to 3.0, allowing cooling to obtain a steel raw material, reheating the steel raw material, performing hot rolling of the steel raw material including at least two passes carried out, allowing cooling to obtain a thick steel plate, reheating the thick steel plate to at least the Ac3 temperature and no higher than 1050° C., rapidly cooling the thick steel plate to 350° C. or lower, and tempering the thick steel plate at at least 550° C. and no higher than 700° C.
