PRESSURE VESSEL STEEL SHEET HAVING EXCELLENT PWHT RESISTANCE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR

Abstract:

Disclosed are a pressure vessel steel sheet and a method for manufacturing the same, the steel sheet comprising: by wt %, 0.10-0.20% of C, 0.15-0.40% of Si, 1.15-1.50% of Mn, 0.45-0.60% of Mo, 0.03-0.30% of Cu, 0.025% or less of P, 0.025% or less of S and 0.005-0.06% of sol. Al; two or more selected from the group consisting of 0.03-0.30% of Cr, 0.002-0.025% of Nb and 0.002-0.025% of Zr, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein the structure comprises a mixture structure of ferrite, perlite and tempered bainite after post weld heat treatment (PWHT) for 60 hours at 600-660.degree. C., and the area fraction of the tempered bainite is at least 10% (excluding 100%).
