  • Patent number: 5098491
    Abstract: A steel sheet for porcelain enameling having improved press formability and enameling properties comprises particular amounts of C, Mn, B, Cu, Al, O, N, and P or further Ti and Nb and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities and is produced by hot rolling a slab of steel having a chemical composition as mentioned above as a starting material, cold rolling the resulting hot rolled sheet at a reduction of not less than 70%, and then subjecting the resulting cold rolled sheet to a continuous annealing at a heating temperature of not lower than 800.degree. C. but not higher than A.sub.c3 transformation point.

  • Patent number: 5053194
    Abstract: A formable thin steel sheet such as hot rolled sheet, cold rolled sheet or surface treated sheet comprises not more than 0.003 wt. % of C, not more than 1.0 wt % of Si, not more than 1.0 wt % of Mn, not more than 0.15 wt % of P, not more than 0.020 wt % of S, not more than 0.0045 wt % of O, not more than 0.0020 wt % of N, not more than 0.15 wt % of Al provided that a ratio of Al/N is not less than 30, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, and has not only improved formability for press forming, deep drawing or the like but also improved fatigue resistance as a welded joint.

  • Patent number: 5013372
    Abstract: A semi-process non-oriented electromagnetic steel strip having low core loss and high magnetic permeability is provided which consists essentially of, in % by weight, up to 0.02% of C, 0.2 to 2.0% of Si, 0.1 to 0.6% of Al, 0.02 to 0.10% of P, 0.5 to 1.5% of Mn, 0.1 to 1.0% of Ni, and optionally up to 0.6% of Cu, and optionally 0.01 to 0.2% of Sb and/or Sn, and a balance of iron and inevitable impurities. Magnetic properties are further improved when it is manufactured by hot rolling a slab having the composition at a temperature of from 1,100.degree. to 1,200.degree. C., completing hot finish rolling at a temperature of at least 700.degree. C. in the austenite region, annealing the strip at a temperature from 800.degree. to 880.degree. C. for at least one hour, cold rolling and annealing the strip, and optionally, skin pass rolling with a reduction of 2 to 12%.
