Abstract

A steel material that achieves both high strength and excellent fracture toughness is provided. A steel material according to the present disclosure contains C: 0.10 to 0.45%, Si: 1.00% or less, Mn: 0.01 to 1.00%, Al: 0.001 to 0.100%, Cr: 0.1 to 2.0%, and Mo: 0.20 to 2.00%, contains any one or more elements among Ca: 0.0005 to 0.0200% and Mg: 0.0005 to 0.0200%, contains any one or more elements among Ti: 0.001 to 0.300%, Nb: 0.001 to 0.300%, and V: 0.01 to 0.50%, with the balance being Fe and impurities, and satisfies Formulae (1) and (2) described in the description. The yield strength is 758 to less than 862 MPa. A number density of MX-type precipitates which have an equivalent circular diameter of 100 nm or less and in which, when the total content of Mo, Nb, V, and Ti is defined as 100% by mass, the content of Mo is more than 50% by mass is 20/μm 2 or more.
