Abstract
The present invention provides high strength steel plate and high strength welded pipe excellent in ductile fracture characteristic and methods of production of the same, that is, high strength steel plate excellent in ductile fracture characteristic, and high strength welded pipe using that steel plate as a base material, having a tensile strength corresponding to the X100 class of the API standard, containing, by mass %, C: 0.01 to 0.5%, Si: 0.01 to 3%, Mn: 0.1 to 5%, P: 0.03% or less, and S: 0.03% or less and a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, having a microstructure comprised of, by area ratio, 1 to 60% of ferrite and the balance of bainite and martensite, having a maximum value of the {100} accumulation degree of the cross-section rotated 20 to 50° from the plate thickness cross-section about the rolling direction as an axis of 3 or less, and having plate thickness parallel cracks measured by ultrasonic flaw detection of less than 1 mm.
