Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide at a low cost a low-alloy steel having a high strength and excellent high-pressure hydrogen environment embrittlement resistance characteristics under a high-pressure hydrogen environment. The invention is a high-strength low-alloy steel having high-pressure hydrogen environment embrittlement resistance characteristics, which has a composition comprising C: 0.10 to 0.20% by mass, Si: 0.10 to 0.40% by mass, Mn: 0.50 to 1.20% by mass, Ni: 0.75 to 1.75% by mass, Cr: 0.20 to 0.80% by mass, Cu: 0.10 to 0.50% by mass, Mo: 0.10 to 1.00% by mass, V: 0.01 to 0.10% by mass, B: 0.0005 to 0.005% by mass and N: 0.01% by mass or less, and further comprising one or two of Nb: 0.01 to 0.10% by mass and Ti: 0.005 to 0.050% by mass, with the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
