  • the MnS amount in the composite inclusion is defined by measuring the area fraction of MnS in the cross-sectional area of the composite inclusion. If the area fraction of the MnS in the cross-section of the composite inclusion is less than 10%, the MnS amount in the composite inclusion is small and a sufficient Mn-depleted zone cannot be formed. Therefore, it is difficult to produce intragranular ferrite.
  • the composite inclusion is mainly composed of MnS, and the proportion that a Ti-based oxide accounts for decreases. Therefore, because the Mn absorbability decreases and a sufficient Mn-depleted zone cannot be formed, production of intragranular ferrite is difficult.
  • the MnS in the composite inclusion is formed around a Ti-based oxide. If the proportion that MnS accounts for in the peripheral length of the composite inclusion is less than 10%, an initial Mn-depleted zone that is formed at the boundary surface between MnS and the matrix will be small. Therefore, since the amount of intragranular ferrite that is produced will be insufficient even if welding is performed, favorable low-temperature HAZ toughness will not be obtained. Therefore, the proportion that MnS accounts for in the peripheral length with respect to the matrix of the composite inclusion is 10% or more.
  • the proportion of MnS is the larger the initial Mn-depleted zone becomes, and the easier it becomes to produce intragranular ferrite. Therefore, although an upper limit of the proportion of MnS is not defined, normally the proportion of MnS is 80% or less.
  • the grain diameter of a composite inclusion is less than 0.5 ⁇ m, the Mn amount that can be absorbed from the area surrounding the composite inclusion will be small, and as a result it will be difficult to form Mn-depleted zones that are necessary in order to produce intragranular ferrite.
  • the grain diameter of the composite inclusion is larger than 5.0 ⁇ m, the composite inclusion will become a starting point for a fracture.
  • the term "grain diameter” refers to a circle-equivalent diameter.

  • the number density of the composite inclusions is 100 per mm 2 or less.
  • the first term that is indicated by (Ti_TiO/O) represents the balance between the Ti content and the O content that become Ti oxides.
  • the first term is calculated by deducting a Ti amount required for TiN formation that is calculated based on the N content in the steel from the total Ti content. The larger the value of the first term is, the easier it is for Ti oxides to form. When the first term is a negative value, Ti oxides are not formed.
  • the second term that is indicated by (Mn_MnS) in formula (i) represents the Mn amount that becomes MnS.
  • the second term is calculated based on the S content in the steel. The larger the value of the second term is, the easier it is for a large amount of MnS to be composited.
  • the symbol R1 represents the average value of the area fraction of MnS in a cross-section of composite inclusions
  • the symbol R2 represents the average value of the proportion that MnS accounts for in the peripheral length of the composite inclusions.
  • the value X obtained by formula (i) indicates the ease with which Ti oxides that composite with MnS are formed, and also the degree of MnS compositing of the composite inclusions that are formed.
  • the steel material exhibits excellent toughness.
  • the value X obtained from formula (i) is less than 0.04, the Ti amount required to form Ti oxides, the S amount and Mn amount required for formation of MnS, or the proportion that MnS accounts for is insufficient. In other words, the state is one in which inclusions that are effective for intragranular transformation are not formed. Therefore, in order to form effective Ti oxides, the value X is 0.04 or more, and preferably is 0.50 or more, and more preferably is 1.00 or more.
  • the value X obtained from formula (i) is more than 9.70, agglomeration is liable to occur due to an excess of Ti oxides being formed. As a result, inclusions become starting points for fractures due to coarse inclusions being formed. In addition, since inclusions that are almost singular MnS inclusions are liable to be formed, intragranular transformation is no longer promoted. Consequently, coarse micro-structure increases, and CTOD properties deteriorate. Therefore, the value X is 9.70 or less, more preferably is 5.00 or less, and further preferably is 4.00 or less.

If the rolling reduction at 950°C or less before accelerated cooling is less than 20%, depending on the rolling the majority of dislocations introduced immediately after rolling may disappear due to recrystallization, and therefore not function as nuclei for transformation. As a result, the micro-structure after transformation coarsens, and in many cases embrittlement caused by dissolved nitrogen is a problem. Therefore, the rolling reduction at 950°C or less before accelerated cooling is preferably 20% or more.

  • Example 3 steels having the chemical compositions of test number examples 31 to 61 and comparative examples 21 to 32 shown in Table 3 were melted by an actual production process, and specimens were prepared. Further, in a similar manner to Example 1, calculation of the MnS area fraction at a cross-section of composite inclusions as well as the proportion that MnS accounted for in the peripheral length of the composite inclusions, and calculation of the number density of the composite inclusions was performed. The results are shown in Table 3.
  • Example 4 Further, a tension test and a CTOD test were performed similarly to Example 1. The test results are shown in Table 4.
  • a thick steel plate can be provided that is excellent in low-temperature toughness for a HAZ when high heat input welding is performed. Therefore, the thick steel plate of the present invention can be favorably used for welded structures such as marine structures, and particularly for thick steel plates that have a plate thickness of 50 mm or more.
