Abstract

The present invention relates to a steel material for pressure vessels, offshore structures and the like and, more specifically, to a high-strength steel material having excellent low-temperature strain aging impact properties and a method for manufacturing same.

Claims (7)

1. A steel material comprising: 0.04-0.14 wt % of carbon, 0.05-0.60 wt % of silicon, 0.6-1.8 wt % of manganese, 0.005-0.06 wt % of soluble aluminum, 0.005-0.05 wt % of niobium, 0.01 wt % or less, exclusive of 0 wt %, of vanadium, 0.012-0.030 wt % of titanium, 0.01-0.4 wt % of copper, 0.01-0.6 wt % of nickel, 0.01-0.2 wt % of chromium, 0.001-0.3 wt % of molybdenum, 0.0002-0.0040 wt % of calcium, 0.006-0.012 wt % of nitrogen, 0.02 wt % or less, exclusive of 0 wt %, of phosphorus, and 0.003 wt % or less, exclusive of 0 wt %, of sulfur, with a balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, and

comprising a mixed structure of ferrite, pearlite, bainite and a martensite-austenite composite phase as a microstructure, wherein an area percent of the martensite-austenite composite phase is 3.5% or less, exclusive of 0%,

wherein an area percent of ferrite is 82% or more and less than 100%.

2. The steel material of claim 1 , wherein the niobium is comprised in an amount of 0.02-0.05 wt %, and the nitrogen is comprised in an amount of 0.006 wt % or more and less than 0.010 wt %.

3. The steel material of claim 1 , wherein an average ferrite crystal grain size is 15 μm or less.

4. The steel material of claim 1 , comprising 0.01 wt % or more of carbonitrides having an average size of 300 nm or less.

5. The steel material of claim 1 , wherein a yield ratio is 0.65-0.80.
