Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2918694A1] Provided is a steel member which is obtained using a thick steel plate and in which the inner zone (thicknesswise central zone) of the steel material exhibits high strength and high toughness even in a case where the steel member has undergone high-temperature and long-time post-welding heat treatment. The steel member has a prescribed composition and is characterized in that the texture of a thicknesswise central zone of the plate satisfies all the requirements (a) to (d): (a) the texture is tempered bainite and/or tempered martensite; (b) the mean equivalent circle diameter of grains that are each surrounded by a large-angle grain boundary where the misorientation between two adjacent grains is 15 or more is 20 µm or less; (c) the maximum diameter of grain-boundary carbides is 0.8 µm or less; and (d) the fraction of grain-boundary carbides is 1.0% by area or more.
