Patent ID: 10358688

Abstract:
A steel plate has excellent strength and toughness in a mid-thickness part thereof, despite having a plate thickness of 100 mm or greater. The steel plate has a chemical composition containing specific amounts of C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Ni, Al, N, B, and O, with the balance being Fe and incidental impurities, and having an equivalent carbon content CeqIIW of 0.65 or greater. The steel plate has a yield strength of 620 MPa or greater, a plate thickness of 100 mm or greater, and has a microstructure in which prior γ grain size in a mid-thickness part of the steel plate has a maximum value, expressed as an equivalent circle diameter, of 150 μm or less, and a total area ratio of martensite and bainite in the mid-thickness part is 80% or greater.
