Abstract

A high tensile strength, low yield ratio steel member has a steel composition consisting essentially of, by weight: PA1 C: 0.15-0.40%, Si: 0.10-0.70%, Mn: 1.0-2.7%, PA1 Cr: 1.0-3.5%, sol.Al: 0.01-0.05%, PA1 P: not larger than 0.025%, S: not larger than 0.015%, PA1 Mo: 0-1.0% Ni: 0-2.5%, PA1 V: 0-0.10%, Ti: 0-0.10%, Nb: 0-0.10%, PA1 B: 0-0.0050%. Fe and incidental impurities: balance the below-described bainite index (%) of the steel composition being 0-50%, the steel being comprised of a single phase of martensite or a martensite and bainite duplex structure containing 50% or less of bainite. PA1 Bainite Index (%)=-209 C+43Si-48Mn-58Cr-0.416R+317 PA1 wherein R is a cooling rate (.degree.C./min).
