The steel is cast in the form of a slab, the slab is hot rolled in order to obtain a hot-rolled sheet, the hot-rolled sheet is coiled, the hot-rolled sheet is cold rolled in two rolling operations separated by a continuous annealing operation. The steel contains at most 0.006% carbon by weight and 0.010% aluminum and the hot-rolled sheet is coiled at a temperature below 620° C. Preferably, the steel is killed by mixing with a slag containing adjusted amounts of aluminum and of alumina.
