Abstract

Provided are a low-temperature steel plate having excellent impact toughness, and a method for manufacturing same, the low-temperature steel plate comprising, in wt %, 0.02-0.08% C, 6.0-7.5% Ni, 0.5-0.9% Mn, 0.03-0.15% Si, 0.02-0.3% Mo, and 0.1-0.3% Cr, and 50 ppm or less of P, 10 ppm or less of S, and the remainder in Fe and various unavoidable impurities, and the microstructure at ¼t (t: thickness of the steel plate) location of the steel plate comprising, in % surface area, 10-35% tempered bainite, 3-15% residual austenite, and the remainder in tempered martensite, and having granularity of 10 μm or less of high angle grain boundaries at 15° or greater as measured by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD).

Claims (5)

1. A steel plate, comprising:

in wt %, 0.02 to 0.08% of C, 6.0 to 7.5% of Ni, 0.5 to 0.9% of Mn, 0.03 to 0.15% of Si, 0.02 to 0.3% of Mo, and 0.1 to 0.3% of Cr, 50 ppm or less of P, 10 ppm or less of S, and as a remainder, Fe and other unavoidable impurities, a microstructure at a ¼t (t: a thickness of a steel plate) region of the steel plate comprising, in area %, 10 to 35% of sum of a tempered lower bainite and tempered upper bainite, 3 to 15% of retained austenite, and a remainder of tempered martensite, and having a grain size of 10 μm or less at a high boundary angle of 15° or greater as measured by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), wherein in the steel plate, a retained austenite fraction at −196° C. is 3 to 15% by area.

2. The steel plate of claim 1 , wherein the steel plate has a yield strength of 585 MPa or more.

3. The steel plate of claim 1 , wherein the steel plate has an impact transition temperature of −196° C. or less.

4. The steel plate of claim 1 , wherein the steel plate has a thickness of 5 mm to 50 mm.
