Abstract
The present invention provides high strength hot rolled steel plate for line-pipes superior in low temperature toughness, and a method of production of the same, containing, by mass %, C: 0.01 to 0.1%, Si: 0.05 to 0.5%, Mn: 1 to 2%, P: ≦0.03%, S: ≦0.005%, O: ≦0.003%, Al: 0.005 to 0.05%, N: 0.0015 to 0.006%, Nb: 0.005 to 0.08%, and Ti: 0.005 to 0.02%, where N−14/48×Ti>0% and Nb−93/14×(N−14/48×Ti)>0.005%, and a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, said steel plate characterized in that its microstructure is a continuously cooled transformed structure, a reflected X-ray intensity ratio {211}/{111} of the {211} plane and {111} plane parallel to the plate surface in the texture at the center of plate thickness is 1.1 or more, and an in-grain precipitate density of the precipitates of Nb and/or Ti carbonitrides is 10to 10/cm.
