TEMPERED MARTENSITIC STEEL HAVING LOW YIELD RATIO AND EXCELLLENT UNIFORM ELONGATION, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR

Abstract:

Provided is a tempered martensitic steel having a low yield ratio and an excellent uniform elongation, the tempered martensitic steel: comprising, by wt %, 0.2-0.6% of C, 0.01-2.2% of Si, 0.5-3.0% of Mn, 0.015% or less of P, 0.005% or less of S, 0.01-0.1% of Al, 0.01-0.1% of Ti, 0.05-0.5% of Cr, 0.0005-0.005% of B, 0.05-0.5% of Mo, 0.01% or less of N, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities; having a yield ratio of 0.4-0.6; having a product (TS*U-El), of a tensile strength and a uniform elongation, of 10,000 MPa % or more; and having a microstructure containing, by an area fraction, 90% or more of tempered martensite, 5% or less of ferrite and the balance of bainite.
