Abstract

A method of producing clad steel plate comprises the steps of preparing an assembly slab by superposing a stainless-steel or nickel alloy cladding material onto base metal consisting essentially of, by weight, 0.020 to 0.06% carbon, 0.5% or less silicon, 1.0 to 1.8% manganese, 0.03% or less phosphorus, 0.005% or less sulfur, 0.08 to 0.15% niobium, 0.005 to 0.03% titanium, 0.05% or less aluminum, 0.002 to 0.006% nitrogen, and one or two elements selected from among a group consisting of 0.05 to 1.0% nickel, 0.05 to 1.0% copper, 0.05 to 0.5% chromium, 0.05 to 0.3% molybdenum and 0.001 to 0.005% calcium, with the balance being iron and unavoidable impurities, and welding its periphery; heating the slab to 1100.degree. to 1250.degree. C.; rolling the slab at a reduction ratio of 5 or more and a rolling finish temperature of 900.degree. to 1050.degree. C.; air cooling for 60 to 200 seconds; cooling the slab from a temperature of at least 750.degree. C. to 555.degree. C. or below at a cooling rate of 5.degree. to 40.degree. C./sec, and following this by air cooling.
