- 0.005 to 0.1%, boron (B):
- 10 ppm or less, titanium (Ti):
- 0.005 to 0.1%, nitrogen (N):
- 15 to 150 ppm, calcium (Ca):
- 60 ppm or less, and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities,
- the steel further comprising at least one or two or more selected from the group consisting of, by wt %, chromium (Cr):
- 1.0% or less (including 0%), molybdenum (Mo):
- 1.0% or less (including 0%), nickel (Ni):
- 2.0% or less (including 0%), copper (Cu):
- 1.0% or less (including 0%), and vanadium (V):
- 0.3% or less (including 0%),
- wherein a corrosion index (CI) represented by Equation 1 is 3.0 or less,
- the steel comprising a surface layer portion, disposed externally on the steel, and a central portion, disposed internally in the steel, the surface layer portion and the central portion being microstructurally divided in a thickness direction of the steel,
- wherein the surface layer portion consists of a tempered bainite as a matrix structure, a fresh martensite as a second structure and a remainder of austenite,
- wherein the central portion consists of acicular ferrite as a matrix structure,
- wherein an average grain diameter of a microstructure of the surface layer portion is 3 μm or less (excluding 0 μm),
- wherein an average grain diameter of a microstructure of the central portion is 5 to 20 μm, and
- wherein weight loss per unit area in a general corrosion acceleration test based on ISO 14993 cyclic corrosion test (CCT) is 1.2 g/cm2 or less,
- CI=26.01*[Cu]+3.88*[Ni]+1.20*[Cr]+1.49*[Si]+17.28*[P]−7.29*[Cu]*[Ni]−9.1*[Ni]*[P]−33.39*[Cu]2 [Equation 1]
- where [Cu], [Ni], [Cr], [Si], and [P] refer to weight % of Cu, Ni, Cr, Si, and P, respectively, and refer to 0 when corresponding alloy composition is not included.
