It is found that the strength of the steel plates decreases with increasing [S] content when [S] is less than 4×10−5. When [S] varies within the range of 4×10−5-1.2×10−4, [S] has no significant effect on strength of the steel. The strength of the steel plates increases with increasing T[O] content when T[O] is less than 30×10−6, but decreases with increasing T[O] when T[O] is more than 3×10−5. The difference between the LETT in plate length direction and LETT in width direction decreases with decreasing [S] content. How- −6 −5 ever, even when [S] is decreased to 9×10 , the difference of the LETT is still 16 . When T[O] varies between 1.8×10 and −5, the low temperature impact toughness of the steel plates slowly decreases with T[O] increasing. When T[O] increases to 5.2×10 more than 5.2×10−5, the low temperature toughness of the steel rapidly decreases
