  • a reduction ratio of three final passes during rough rolling was within a range of 7.9% to 14.1%.
  • a strain rate during rolling was within a range of 1.22/s to 1.68/s.
  • finish rolling was performed at the reduction ratio per pass of 4.2% to 5.6% and at the cumulative reduction ratio of 50% at a temperature equal to a difference between a finish rolling temperature and an Ar 3 temperature, illustrated in Table 2 below to obtain a steel sheet having a thickness illustrated in Table 3 below, and then the steel sheet was cooled to a temperature of 241°C to 378°C at a cooling rate of the central portion of 3.8°C/sec to 5.0°C/sec.
  • the Kca value in Table 4 below is a value evaluated by performing an ESSO test on the steel sheet.
  • the CTOD value was a result in which a FCAW (1.0 kJ/mm) welding process is performed to carry out structure analysis and a CTOD test on the HAZ.
  • the difference between the finish rolling temperature during finish rolling and the Ar 3 temperature was controlled to be 60°C or higher. Rolling was performed at a relatively high temperature, so that sufficient reduction was not applied to the central portion. In addition, cooling was started at a relatively high temperature, so that ferrite of 20% or greater was not generated in a surface portion. Thus, it can be confirmed that the Kca value measured at a temperature of -10°C may not exceed 6000 required in a steel material for shipbuilding of the related art.
  • a C content had a value higher than an upper limit value of a C content of an exemplary embodiment. It can be confirmed that a relatively large amount of coarse upper bainite was generated in the central portion during rough rolling, so the Kca value measured at a temperature of -10° C was 6000 or less. It can be confirmed that a relatively large amount of martensite-austenite (MA) was also generated in the HAZ, so the CTOD value was 0.25 mm or less .
  • MA martensite-austenite
  • a Si content had a value higher than an upper limit value of a Si content of an exemplary embodiment. It can be confirmed that a relatively large amount of Si was added to generate a relatively large amount of an MA structure in the HAZ, so the CTOD value is 0.25 mm or less.
  • a Mn content has a value higher than an upper limit value of a Mn content of an exemplary embodiment. It can be confirmed that due to having a relatively high level of hardenability, a relatively large amount of upper bainite is formed in the central portion, thereby allowing the Kca value to be 6000 or less at a temperature of -10°C. In addition, it can be confirmed that due to a relatively high carbon equivalent (Ceq) value, a relatively small amount of MA phase was present in the HAZ, but the CTOD value is 0.25 or less.
  • an Ni content had a value higher than an upper limit value of an Ni content of an exemplary embodiment. It can be confirmed that due to a relatively high level of hardenability, a relatively large amount of upper bainite was generated in the central portion, thereby allowing the Kca value to be 6000 or less at a temperature of -10°C. However, it can be confirmed that due to a relatively high Ni content, the CTOD value was relatively high.
  • an Nb and Ti content has a value higher than an upper limit value of an Nb and Ti content of an exemplary embodiment. It can be confirmed that an entirety of other conditions satisfies a condition suggested in an exemplary embodiment, but due to a relatively high Nb and Ti content, a relatively large amount of the MA structure is generated in the HAZ, thereby allowing the CTOD value to be 0.25 mm or less.
  • Inventive Example 6 includes a component exceeding a ratio of Cu to Ni suggested in an aspect of the present disclosure. It can be confirmed that despite having other, significantly excellent physical properties, a star crack was generated on a surface, thereby causing a default in surface quality.
  • a C and Mn content has a value lower than a lower limit value of a C and Mn content of an exemplary embodiment. It can be confirmed that due to a relatively low level of hardenability, a fraction of AF+GB in the central portion is significantly low, and a relatively large amount of polygonal ferrite and a pearlite structure of 10% or greater are present, thereby allowing the Kca value to be 6000 or less at a temperature of -10°C.
  • AF + GB of a microstructure in the central portion was 70% or greater, a fraction of upper bainite in the central portion was 20% or less, a circle-equivalent diameter of an effective grain of upper bainite of the central portion having a high angle grain boundary of 15° or greater was 15 ⁇ m or less, and a fraction of the MA phase in the HAZ was less than 5%.
