This invention discloses a high-strength, high-
toughness steel for
marine engineering equipment with excellent
work hardening ability and its manufacturing method. The steel's
chemical composition by weight percentage is: C = 0.08%–0.15%, Si = 0.10%–0.20%, Mn = 0.50%–1.00%, Ni = 0.30%–0.80%, Cr = 0.50%–1.50%, Mo = 0.10%–0.50%, Cu = 0.10%–0.50%, Nb or V = 0.02%–0.04%, and Al = 0.05%–0.08%. The composition is as follows: B = 0.0005%~0.0015%, Ti ≤ 0.01%, N ≤ 0.005%, P ≤ 0.010%, S ≤ 0.006%, with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The technical solution of this invention adopts direct
quenching after hot rolling and
tempering heat treatment to obtain a multiphase structure of tempered
martensite, restored ferrite and carbides. The
work hardening rate during the deformation stage from yield strength to tensile strength is higher than 5000MPa, the yield strength ratio is lower than 0.90, the yield strength is higher than 690MPa, and the Charpy
impact energy at -60℃ is higher than 150J.
