Abstract
The present invention provides a high strength thick steel plate for marine structures superior in weldability and low temperature toughness of the HAZ, which is able to be produced at a low cost without use of a complicated method of production, and a method of production of the same, that is, steel for welded structures excellent in low temperature toughness of the weld heat affected zone and a method of production of the same characterized by casting molten steel containing, by mass %, C: 0.03 to 0.12%, Si: 0.05 to 0.30%, Mn: 1.2 to 3.0%, P: 0.015% or less, S: 0.001 to 0.015%, Cu+Ni: 0.10% or less, Al: 0.001 to 0.050%, Ti: 0.005 to 0.030%, Nb: 0.005 to 0.10%, and N: 0.0025 to 0.0060% by the continuous casting method, making the cooling rate from near the solidification point to 800° C. in the secondary cooling at that time 0.06 to 0.6° C./s, hot rolling the obtained slab, and cooling it from a temperature of 800° C. or more.
