ABSTRACT:
A method of high tension steel having superior weldability and low temperature toughness, comprises the steps of preparing a steel billet having a composition consisting, by weight, of 0.02 to 0.05% C, 0.02 to 0.5% Si, 0.4 to 1.5% Mn, 0.5 to 4.0% Ni, 0.20 to 1.5% Mo, 0.005 to 0.03% Ti, 0.01 to 0.08% Al, not more than 0.0002% B, 0.5 to 2.0% Cu, not more than 0.01% N, and the balance Fe and incidental impurities; heating said steel billet to a temperature of 900.degree. C. to 1000.degree. C.; hot-rolling the heated steel billet first at a rolling reduction of 30 to 70% in a temperature range in which austenite recrystallizes and then at a rolling reduction of 20 to 60% in another temperature range in which austenite does not recrystallize; hardening the hot-rolled billet by water-cooling from a temperature not lower than the Ar.sub.3 transformation point and terminating the cooling at a temperature not higher than 250.degree. C.; and tempering the hardened billet at a temperature which is not higher than the Ac.sub.1 transformation point.
