The invention discloses high-performance brittle-crack-resistant steel for
nuclear power pressure-bearing equipment and a manufacturing method of the high-performance brittle-crack-resistant steel. The high-performance brittle-crack-resistant steel comprises the following chemical components: 0.16%-0.24% of C, 0.20%-0.40% of Si, 1.25%-1.60% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.010% of P, less than or equal to 0.005% of S, 0.25%-0.45% of Cr, 0.25%-0.40% of Cu, 0.30%-0.50% of Ni, 0.005%-0.008% of Ca, 0.65%-1.25% of Mo and 0.04%-0.08% of V. The manufacturing method comprises the steps of
smelting,
continuous casting, heating rolling and heat treatment. The thickness of the steel plate is 30-120 mm, and through hardening and
tempering and simulated postweld heat treatment, the normal-temperature tensile yield strength is larger than or equal to 620 MPa, the tensile strength is larger than or equal to 770 MPa, the 360-DEG C high-temperature tensile yield strength is larger than or equal to 518 MPa, the tensile strength is larger than or equal to 618 MPa, the
impact absorption energy at the temperature of-40 DEG C is 195 J or above, the non-
ductility transition temperature is smaller than or equal to-52 DEG C, and the grain size is larger than or equal to 8.5 grades. The steel provided by the invention has good mechanical properties and
brittle crack resistance, and fully meets the requirements of steel for pressure-bearing equipment of a
nuclear power unit.
