Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1262571A1] The present invention realizes excellent HAZ toughness by further suppressing the coarsening of austenite grains when they are heated for a long time at a high temperature in order to remarkably improve HAZ properties. The present invention is a steel excellent in the toughness of a weld heat-affected zone: having a specific chemical composition; satisfying the expression 0 </= EN </= 0.002 regarding the EN value expressed by an equivalent equation comprising (%N), (%Ti) and (%B); and containing oxide particles 0.005 to 2.0 mu m, preferably 0.1 to 2.0 mu m, in circle-equivalent diameter, which oxide particles contain at least Ca, Al and O in their composition and, in the mass percentage of the elements excluding O, contain Ca at 5% or more and Al at 5% or more with the balance consisting of other deoxidizing elements and/or unavoidable impurities, with the density of the oxide particles being 100 to 3,000 pieces/mm<2>. <IMAGE>
