摘要:
A method for manufacturing a hot-rolled sheet attains grain refinement of the steel sheet whose grain size is extremely fine. In particular, a ferrite grain size of less than average 2 μm is obtained, which is not laminar but has ferrite grains with equiaxed morphology and exhibits high formability in forming. The method comprises the steps of rolling and cooling, wherein the rolling reductions, cooling steps, and temperature are closely regulated. A hot rolled sheet made from the method of manufacturing has a controlled ferrite grain in different regions of sheet thickness.

According to a low alloy steel of the present invention, compositional elements thereof are limited, and a metal structure thereof comprises bainite or martensite. Further, proper amounts of Nd inclusions are formed by appropriately selecting timings of deoxidation and Nd addition in melting a steel. Consequently, compatibility between high-temperature creep strength and long-term creep ductility, which is hardly established in conventional steels, can be achieved even in hostile conditions. Accordingly, the low alloy steel of the present invention can be widely applied as the material for the heat-resistant structural member used for a long time under the high-temperature and high-pressure conditions such as power plant boilers, turbines, and nuclear power plants.
