The invention provides high-strength high-
toughness Cu-containing steel and a production method thereof. The steel comprises the following chemical components in percent by weight: 0.04-0.07 percent of C, 0.25-0.45 percent of Si, 0.60-1.00 percent of Mn, 0.01-0.03 percent of Als, 2.40-3.20 percent of Ni, 1.20-1.60 percent of Cu, 0.65-0.90 percent of Cr, 0.30-0.60 percent of Mo, 0.02-0.04 percent of Nb, 0.01-0.03 percent of Ti, less than or equal to 0.015 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.010 percent of S and the balance of iron and inevitable impurities. The production method comprises the following steps of: performing total molten iron
smelting by using a duplex process, performing external refining through converter top-blown or top and bottom composite blowing, performing whole-course protection
casting during
continuous casting, and slowly cooling after a
continuous casting billet is off line; controlling the
heating temperature of the billet to be 1,150-1,250 DEG C and the
heating time to be 3.5-5 hours, controlling the open rolling temperature to be 1,050-1,100 DEG C during rough rolling, controlling the open rolling temperature to be 890-920 DEG C during finish rolling, and controlling the finished rolling temperature to be 800-860 DEG C during finish rolling; performing heat treatment, wherein the
quenching temperature is 860-920 DEG C, the temperature keeping time is 0.5-3.5 hours; and performing
water cooling; keeping the
tempering temperature to be 620-690 DEG C, wherein the temperature keeping time is 1-7 hours; and performing
air cooling. The steel plate has the yield strength of more than or equal to 690MPa, the Charpy
impact work of a V-shaped notch at the temperature of 80 DEG C below zero is more than 120J, and the ductile-brittle
transition temperature is lower than 80 DEG C below zero.
