Abstract

A high-tensile steel plate has a chemical composition containing, by mass, specific amounts of C, Mn, Si, P, S, Al, Ni, B, N, one or more elements selected from Cr, Mo, V, Cu, Ti, and Ca as needed, Ceq≤0.80, and a center-segregation zone hardness index HCS satisfying 5.5[C]+15[P]+0.90[Mn]+0.12[Ni]+0.53[Mo]≤2.5. The hardness of a center-segregation zone satisfies HV/HV≤1.35+0.006/C−t/750. A steel having the above-described chemical composition is subjected to hot rolling at a specific slab-heating temperature at a specific rolling reduction ratio, subsequently reheated, cooled at a cooling rate of 0.3° C./s or more until the temperature of a central portion in a plate-thickness direction reaches 350° C. or less, and tempered to a specific temperature range.
