Abstract The L245 (API5L B PSL2) plates are produced on 3500 mm 4high mill at Shougang Group to obtain ultrafine grained ferrite in the surface layers. By special controlled rolling and accelerated cooling process, mechanical properties of plain carbon steel can meet the requirements of thick L245 plates. The grade of grain size in surface layers is 12 and 10 in central layer of the plates. The yield and tensile strength are 300365 MPa and 430480 MPa respectively with the elongation of 29%35%. The sharpy Vnotch impact energy is above 130 J with the shear area above 85% at -10 ℃. With little increase in cost of steel making, the steel with good combination of strength and plasticity and satisfied toughness at low temperature can be produced by controlled rolling and cooling.
