  • Publication number: 20050139293
    Abstract: A cold-rolled steel sheet of DP (Dual Phase) type with a specific composition meets the requirements: (I) In the surface of the steel sheet, there exist Si—Mn complex oxides no larger than 5 ?m in diameter of the equivalent circle as many as 10 or more per 100 ?m2 and the coverage of oxides composed mainly of Si on the surface of steel sheet is no more than 10% of surface area, and/or (II) The cross section near the surface of the steel sheet does not show cracks with a width no larger than 3 ?m and a depth no smaller than 5 ?m in arbitrary ten fields of observation under an SEM with a magnification of 2000. A high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet excellent in coating film adhesion and having a tensile strength no lower than 550 MPa is provided.
