  • C 0.010-0.14% C is an element that has the effect of increasing the strength of thick steel plates. If the C content is less than 0.010%, the desired tensile strength cannot be obtained. Therefore, the C content is set to 0.010% or more, preferably 0.020% or more, and more preferably 0.030% or more. On the other hand, when the C content exceeds 0.14%, the formation of coarse island-like martensite and cementite is promoted, and the toughness of the base material decreases, and the toughness of the bond portion also deteriorates significantly. Therefore, the C content is set to 0.14% or less, preferably 0.10% or less, and more preferably 0.08% or less.

Further, by controlling the Mn concentration distribution as described later, high strength, low yield ratio, and high toughness can be achieved. If the Mn content is less than 0.9%, the above effects cannot be obtained. Therefore, the Mn content is set to 0.9% or more, preferably 1.2% or more. On the other hand, when the Mn content exceeds 3.0%, the area fraction of the Mn-enriched portion increases and coarse MA is generated, resulting in a decrease in base material toughness. In addition, the weld heat affected zone hardens, and the toughness of the bonded part decreases significantly. Therefore, the Mn content is 3.0% or less, preferably 2.6% or less.
  • the component composition explained here is the average composition of the thick steel plate. Therefore, the value of the above Mn content is used as the "average Mn content" in the definition of the Mn concentration distribution described later.

  • P is an element that deteriorates the toughness of the base material and the toughness of the bond part, and it is desirable to reduce it as much as possible.
  • the P content exceeds 0.015%, the base material toughness and the bonding part toughness decrease significantly. This is considered to be because when the P content is high, P segregates in the Mn-enriched area and hardens the structure. Therefore, the P content is set to 0.015% or less.
  • the lower limit of the P content is not particularly limited and may be 0%. However, excessive reduction leads to an increase in cost. Therefore, from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost, it is preferable that the P content is 0.001% or more.
  • S 0.0050% or less
  • S is an element that deteriorates the toughness of the base material, and it is desirable to reduce it as much as possible. If the S content is higher than 0.0050%, desired base material toughness and bond portion toughness cannot be obtained. Therefore, the S content is set to 0.0050% or less.

In order to obtain the above effect, the Al content is set to 0.002% or more, preferably 0.010% or more. On the other hand, when the Al content exceeds 0.080%, the toughness of the base material decreases. Therefore, the Al content is 0.080% or less, preferably 0.060% or less.
  • Ti 0.003 ⁇ 0.030%
  • Ti is an element that functions as a deoxidizing agent and also contributes to improving the strength of thick steel plates. Further, Ti combines with N and precipitates as TiN, which is a nitride that is stable even at high temperatures.

In order to obtain the above effect, the Ti content is set to 0.003% or more, preferably 0.005% or more. On the other hand, if the Ti content exceeds 0.030%, the base material toughness and the bond toughness will deteriorate, so the Ti content should be 0.030% or less, preferably 0.025% or less, and more preferably 0.020% or less. % or less.
