摘要:
A method for gas-shielded arc welding to join thick steel materials having a sheet thickness of 22 mm or more by narrow-groove multilayer welding, a bottom portion groove angle being 10° or less, and a bottom portion groove gap being 7-15 mm, includes using two passes or more for initial layer welding, distributing the passes over both sides of the bottom portion groove gap, and controlling a feed angle of a weld wire fed from a power supply tip of a welding torch end to be 5-15° with respect to a perpendicular line so as to set a depth of fusion at a bottom portion of the thick steel materials to be 1.5 mm or more. Even when using low-cost groove formation by gas cutting, plasma cutting, or the like, defects such as high-temperature cracks and lack of fusion can effectively be prevented without treating the groove face.

More specifically, what is provided is a steel preferably containing elements C, Si, Mn, Al, N, P, and S; one or more of Mo, Nb, V, Ti, Cu, Ni, Cr, W, B, Ca, REM, and Mg if necessary; and Fe and unavoidable impurities as the balance, wherein the average aspect ratio of prior austenite grains calculated over the entire thickness is at least three and, if necessary, hydrogen is charged into the steel whose cementite covering ratio of laths is 50% or lower and the hydrogen contained in the steel is sealed by zinc galvanizing, the safety index of delayed fracture resistance calculated using the formula described below being at least 75% when a slow strain rate test is performed with the strain rate set to 1 × 10 -3 /s or lower. A steel having the composition described above is cast, protected from cooling to the Ar 3 transformation temperature or lower or heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the Ac 3 transformation temperature once again, hot rolled with the rolling reduction for non-recrystallization regions set to 30% or higher, directly quenched from a temperature equal to or higher than the Ar 3 transformation temperature, and then tempered so that the maximum temperature at the middle of the steel thickness is equal to or lower than the Ac 1 transformation temperature. The safety index of delayed fracture resistance (%) = 100 × (X 1 /X 0 ), where X 0 : reduction of area of a specimen substantially free from diffusible hydrogen, and X 1 : reduction of area of a specimen containing diffusible hydrogen.
