  • Publication number: 20040261920
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a cold-rolled steel sheet and an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet in which tensile strength is effectively increased by press forming and heat treatment while maintaining excellent deep drawability in press forming. Specifically, a steel composition contains less than 0.01% of C, 0.005 to 1.0% of Si, 0.01 to 1.0% of Mn, 0.005 to 0.050% of Nb, 0.005 to 0.030% of Al, 0.005 to 0.040% of N 0.0005 to 0.0015% of B, 0.05% or less of P, and 0.

  • Publication number: 20040108024
    Abstract: The present invention provides a steel sheet having a chemical composition comprising 0.15% or less C, 2.0% or less Si, 3.0% or less Mn, P, S, Al and N in adjusted amounts, from 0.5 to 3.0% Cu, or one or more of Cr, Mo and W in a total amount of 2.0% or less, and having a composite structure comprising ferrite and martensite having an area ratio of 2% or more. The steel sheet is in the form of a high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet, a high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet, or a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet. There is thus available a steel sheet excellent in press-formability and in strain age hardening property as represented by a &Dgr;TS of 80 MPa or more.
