Benefits of technology

This patent describes how to make a strong steel that can withstand high amounts of pressure and has good resistance to breaking.

Problems solved by technology

In general, for a high-strength steel, when an extremely thick steel sheet is manufactured, due to a reduction in a total reduction ratio, sufficient deformation does not occur in a central portion, so a structure of a central portion may become coarse.
In addition, due to the structure having been coarsened, it may be difficult to secure impact toughness in a central portion.
Therefore, it may be difficult to improve brittle crack arrestability of an extremely thick high-strength steel.
However, various techniques are helpful in refining a structure in a surface layer, but do not solve the problem of impact toughness degradation due to coarsening of a structure in a central portion.
Therefore, the various techniques are not fundamental measures for brittle crack arrestability.
In addition, because the techniques themselves are expected to significantly reduce productivity when applied to a general production system, such techniques are problematic in terms of commercial applications.

embodiment 1

[0127]After a steel slab with a thickness of 400 mm having a composition of Table 1 was reheated at a temperature of 1050° C., rough rolling was performed at a temperature of 1020° C., so a bar was manufactured. When a slab was rough rolled, an average temperature difference between a central portion and a surface is illustrated in Table 2, a cumulative reduction ratio of 50% is equally applied.

[0128]The average temperature difference between a central portion and a surface during rough rolling of Table 2 refers to a difference between a temperature of a surface of a slab or bar measured immediately before rough rolling, and a temperature of a central portion calculated in consideration of an amount of water sprayed to a bar and a slab thickness immediately before rough rolling, and is a result in which a temperature difference for each pass of rough rolling is measured and a total average value is calculated.

[0129]A thickness of the bar having been rough rolled was 180 mm, and a cr...

[0142]Except for a change in a Cu / Ni weight ratio of a steel slab as illustrated in Table 3, a steel sheet was manufactured with the same composition and manufacturing conditions as Inventive steel 2 of Embodiment 1, surface properties of the steel sheet having been manufactured were investigated, and a result thereof is illustrated in Table 3.

[0143]In Table 3, surface properties of the steel sheet refer to a measure of whether a star crack in a surface occurred due to hot shortness.

embodiment 3

[0145]Except for a change in a crystal grain size (μm) before finish rolling after rough rolling as illustrated in Table 4, a steel sheet was manufactured in the same composition and manufacturing condition as Inventive steel 1 of Embodiment 1. Properties of an average grain size of a central portion of a steel sheet having been manufactured were investigated, and a result thereof is illustrated in Table 4.

[0146]As illustrated in Table 4, as a crystal grain size of a central portion of a bar after rough rolling decreases, it is confirmed that an average grain size of a central portion is refined. Thus, it is expected that brittle crack propagation resistance is to be improved.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to a high-strength steel having excellent brittle crack arrestability and a method of manufacturing the same.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Recently, in designing structures used in domestic and international shipbuilding, marine engineering, architecture and civil engineering fields, the development of an extremely thick steel having high strength properties is required.[0003]When high-strength steel is used in designing structures, since such structures may be lightened, an economical benefit may be obtained; and since a thickness of a steel sheet may be reduced, ease of machining and welding operations may be secured simultaneously.[0004]In general, for a high-strength steel, when an extremely thick steel sheet is manufactured, due to a reduction in a total reduction ratio, sufficient deformation does not occur in a central portion, so a structure of a central portion may become coarse. Therefore, as hardenability is increased, a low tempe...
