Abstract

Disclosed are a hot-rolled steel sheet having a thickness of 6 mm or more and an excellent impact property, and a manufacturing method thereof. In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a hot-rolled steel sheet with excellent low-temperature impact toughness includes, in percent (%) by weight of the entire composition, C: more than 0 and 0.03% or less, Si: 0.1 to 1.0%, Mn: more than 0 and 2.0% or less, P: 0.04% or less, Cr: 1.0 to 10%, Ni: more than 0 and 1.5% or less, Ti: 0.01 to 0.5%, Cu: more than 0 and 2.0% or less, N: more than 0 and 0.03% or less, Al: 0.1% or less, the remainder of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, a value of the following Formula (1) satisfies 200 to 1,150, and a microstructure of the cross-section perpendicular to the rolling direction has an average grain size of 50 μm or less in which a misorientation between grains is 5° or more. 1001.5*C+1150.6*Mn+2000*Ni+395.6*Cu−0.7*Si−1.0*Ti−45*Cr−1.0*P−1.0*Al+1020.5*N  (1)

Claims (12)

1. A hot-rolled steel sheet with excellent low-temperature impact toughness, the hot-rolled steel sheet comprising, in percent (%) by weight of the entire composition, C: more than 0 and 0.03% or less, Si: 0.1 to 1.0%, Mn: more than 0 and 2.0% or less, P: 0.04% or less, Cr: 1.0 to 10%, Ni: more than 0 and 1.5% or less, Ti: 0.01 to 0.5%, Cu: more than 0 and 2.0% or less, N: more than 0 and 0.03% or less, Al: 0.1% or less, the remainder of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities,

a value of the following Formula (1) satisfies 200 to 1,150, and

a microstructure of the cross-section perpendicular to the rolling direction has an average grain size of 50 μm or less for grains having a misorientation between grains is 5° or more,

wherein the hot-rolled steel sheet has a thickness of 6.0 to 25.0 mm and −20° C. Charpy impact energy of 180 J/cm 2 or more,

1001.5*C+1150.6*Mn+2000*Ni+395.6*Cu−0.7*Si−1.0*Ti−45*Cr−1.0*P−1.0*Al+1020.5*N,  (1)

wherein C, Mn, Ni, Cu, Si, Ti, Cr, P, Al and N mean the content (% by weight) of each element.

2. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the value of Formula (1) satisfies 200 to 700.

3. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the hot-rolled steel sheet satisfies the following Formula (2):

Ti/(C+N)≥10.0  (2).

4. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the microstructure has an average grain size of 70 μm or less for grains having a misorientation between grains is 15 to 180°.

5. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the microstructure has an average grain size of 50 μm or less for grains having a misorientation between grains is 5 to 180°.

6. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the microstructure has an average grain size of 30 μm or less for grains having a misorientation between grains is 2 to 180°.
