Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide at a low cost a low-alloy steel having a high strength and excellent high-pressure hydrogen environment embrittlement resistance characteristics under a high-pressure hydrogen environment. The invention is a high-strength low-alloy steel excellent in high-pressure hydrogen environment embrittlement resistance characteristics, which is characterized in that the steel has a composition comprising C: 0.10 to 0.20%, Si: 0.10 to 0.40%, Mn: 0.50 to 1.20%, Cr: 0.20 to 0.80%, Cu: 0.10 to 0.50%, Mo: 0.10 to 1.00%, V: 0.01 to 0.10%, B: 0.0005 to 0.005% and N: 0.01% or less, by mass, with the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
