Abstract
An appropriate chemical composition for boron-treated microalloyed ste el for the production of E890T plates has been elaborated displaying t he required resistance to fracture and a restricted anisotropy of the plastic properties at low temperature. Steel melted in an open hearth furnace, followed by LF technology, proves to warrant the required pro perties with a low hydrogen content. The heat treatment conditions wer e tailored to optimize the boron factor and grain size effects of plat es 10 to 20 mm thick.
