This invention discloses a low-carbon equivalent extra-thick high-
toughness normalized steel plate for
offshore wind power and its manufacturing method. The steel plate is 100-150mm thick, and its
chemical composition by weight percentage is C: 0.12-0.18%, Si: 0.20-0.40%, Mn: 1.20-1.60%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.005%, combined with
trace amounts of Ni, Mo, and Cr
tempering and Nb+V+Ti ternary composite microalloying, with strict control of B≤0.0005% and carbon equivalent CEV≤0.43%. The steel plate has a yield strength ≥355MPa, tensile strength 470-560MPa, and a single Charpy
impact energy of -50℃ in both transverse and longitudinal directions ≥50J. The manufacturing method includes
smelting and
casting, heating of continuously cast billets, rolling, and normalizing heat treatment. The rolling
compression ratio is ≥3.0, the
reduction rate of the last three passes of rough rolling is >9%, the finishing rolling temperature is 780-820℃, the normalizing temperature is 870-900℃, and the
holding time coefficient is 1.5-2.5 min / mm. This invention solves the problems of insufficient strength and
toughness and uneven thickness properties of extra-thick plates with low carbon equivalent. It has good
weldability, low production cost, and is suitable for
offshore wind power monopile foundation structural components, and can be
mass-produced.
