Abstract
A high tensile strength steel product for high heat input welding having excellent toughness in the heat-affected zone and having a tensile strength of at least 490 MPa contains, in terms of percent by weight, from about 0.05% to about 0.18% of C, 0.6% or less of Si, from about 0.80% to about 1.80% of Mn, 0.005% or less of Al, 0.030% or less of P, 0.004% or less of S, 0.005% or less of Nb, from about 0.04% to about 0.15% of V, from about 0.0050% to about 0.00150% of N, and from about 0.010% to about 0.050% of Ti, the ratio of the Ti content to the Al content, Ti/Al, satisfying 5.0 or more, and further contains at least one of from about 0.0010% to about 0.0100% of Ca and from about 0.0010% to about 0.0100% of REM, and the balance being Fe and incidental impurities. In the steel product, oxide inclusions containing, in terms of percent by weight, 20% to about 95% of a titanium oxide, 70% or less of Al2O3, 5% to about 50% in total of at least one of calcium oxide and a REM oxide, and 15% or less of MnO are dispersed.
