Abstract: A method is used to fabricate a hot-rolled steel having a yield strength greater than 550 MPa and an impact toughness of at least 27 J at a temperature of -40° F. In one embodiment, the yield strength is greater than 690 MPa. The method includes melting steel to create melted steel. The melted steel is poured into a mold. The metal steel is continuously cast into a steel slab. The steel slab is heated to maintain a predetermined temperature. The steel slab is rolled to reduce the thickness to a predetermined thickness to create a hot-rolled steel sheet.

Abstract: Steel alloy, and plate formed from a low-molybdenum, high-strength, low-alloy steel, said steel alloy consisting essentially of, in wt. %: C: 0.05-0.07; Mn: 1.5-1.7; Ti: 0.01-0.025; Al: 0.02-0.04; Nb: 0.075-0.1; P: ?0.01; S: ?0.003; Mo: 0.1-0.2; and the remainder Fe and inevitable impurities. The plate is produced by rolling from a slab without the use of accelerated cooling.
