• the present invention provides a steel for an alloy structure, including the following chemical elements in percentage by mass:
• C in the steel for the alloy structure according to the present invention, C mainly influences the precipitation amount and the precipitation temperature range of carbides. Controlling the relatively low mass percentage of C is beneficial for improving the mechanical properties of the steel for the alloy structure according to the present invention.

• Si can improve the strength of the steel, but is disadvantageous for the formability and the toughness of the steel. In addition, there is often residual Si in the smelting process, so it is very important to properly select the content of Si. On this basis, in the steel for the alloy structure according to the present invention, the mass percentage of Si is controlled within a range of 0.27-0.35%.
• Mn is a relatively weak austenite element, and can inhibit the adverse effect of sulphur in steel for the alloy structure and improve the thermoplasticity.

• Al in the steel for the alloy structure according to the present invention, Al mainly influences the dislocation behavior by controlling the oxygen content in steel so as to strengthen alloy structure. Increase of the total amount of Al can obviously increase the solution temperature and improve the mechanical properties, but may cause loss of plasticity. In addition, adding Al is beneficial to the elongation deformation performance of the steel and beneficial for improving the machining performance of the steel.

• Vanadium in the steel for the alloy structure may reduce the quenching degree under the general heat treatment conditions, and thus is usually combined with manganese and chromium elements for use in the steel for the alloy structure. Vanadium is mainly used for improving the strength and the yield strength ratio of the steel, refining the crystal grains, and reducing the overheating sensitivity in quenched and tempered steel.

• N is an element that stabilizes austenite. Controlling the relatively low mass percentage of N is beneficial for improving the impact toughness of the steel for the alloy structure according to the present invention. In addition, the relatively high mass percentage of nitrogen may cause reduction of the toughness and the malleability of the steel and may also reduce the hot workability. On this basis, in the steel for the alloy structure according to the present invention, the mass percentage of N is controlled within a range of 0.005% or less.
• O in the steel for the alloy structure according to the present invention, O exists mainly in a form of an oxide inclusion, and the high total oxygen content represents the high inclusion content. Reduction of the total oxygen content is beneficial for improving the comprehensive performance of the material.

• the steel for the alloy structure is designed by adding trace alloy elements; by adding the proper amount of Zr and Mg, controlling the low content of total oxygen, and utilizing the characteristics of the added trace alloy elements, the steel for the alloy structure is further strengthened and toughened, so that the steel for the alloy structure has high strength and low material cost.
• the steel for the alloy structure which is ultrahigh in mechanical property, good in impact toughness, and low in manufacturing cost, can be obtained.
