Abstract: Continuous cooling transformation curve (CCT curve) and effect of final cooling temperature after hot rolling on microstructure and properties of low-carbon high strength marine steel were studied by Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation test machine, optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results show that only ferrite and bainite transformations take place during the continuous cooling transformation of the tested steel. In the process of air cooling immediately after hot rolling and rapid cooling to different final cooling temperature, the room temperature microstructure is bainitic and polygonal ferrite, and the content of bainitic increases with the decrease of final cooling temperature. Compared with direct air cooling to room temperature, with the increase of final cooling temperature, the strength of the tested steel decreases at first and then increases, However, when the final cooling temperature increases to 650 ℃, the strength of the tested steel decreases. When the final cooling temperature is 600 ℃, the yield strength and tensile strength is the highest, as 644.28 MPa and 679.71 MPa respectively, and the best impact absorbed energy is 112 J at -20 ℃.
