PURPOSE: To provide a steel for a high toughness pressure vessel whch has excellent weldability and workability and has substantial strength and high toughness even when subjected to working or a post weld heat treatment by readucing an amt. of C and adding Cr and Nb/V in combination to a basic component system of an Mn-(Ni)-Mo steel.
CONSTITUTION: A steel for a high toughness pressure vessel contg., by weight, 0.07W0.20% C, 0.10W0.50% Si, 0.90W1.60% Mn, 0.05W0.40% Cr, 0.40W0.65% Mo, ≤0.025% P, ≤0.006% S, and 0.005W0.050% SolAl, and contg. 0.005W0.07% V or/and 0.003W0.05% Nb. The steel has a positively improved weldability and toughness after post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) while having high strength and has an excellent high temp. characteristic and toughness.
