brittle crack arrestability and
welding part brittle
crack initiation resistance, and a productionmethod therefor, the high-strength steel: comprising, in wt%, C: 0.05-0.09%, Mn: 1.5-2.0%, Ni: 0.3-0.8%, Nb: 0.005-0.04%, Ti: 0.005-0.04%, Cu: 0.1-0.5%, Si: 0.05-0.3%, Al: 0.005-0.05%, P: 100ppm or less, S: 40ppm or less, and a remainder made up by Fe and other inevitable impurities; having a center part
microstructure comprising, in area%, 70% or more of
acicular ferrite and 10% or less of
pearlite, wherein the equivalent circular
diameter of the
pearlite is 15um (micrometers) or less; having , in a 2mm or less subsurface region, a
microstructure comprising, in area%, 30% or more of one typeor more among ferrite and a remainder made up by
bainite,
martensite, and
pearlite; and having a
welding heat affected zone, which is formed when welding , that comprises, in area%, 5% or less of a
martensite-
austenite constituent. According to the present invention, high-strength steel having high yield strength, excellent brittle crack arrestability, and excellent welding part brittle
crack initiation resistance may be obtained.
