Abstract: A high-strength, cold rolled steel sheet product characterized by a rimmed surface and an aluminum killed, columbium-containing core is produced by hot rolling at a finishing temperature above its Ar.sub.3 temperature and coiling at a temperature between 1000.degree. F. and 1200.degree. F., cold rolling between 50% and 90% reduction, batch annealing to recrystallize the coil, and temper rolling between 0.75% and 2.0% temper elongation. The product is non-aging, has a 50,000 p.s.i. minimum yield strength in the temper rolled condition, good formability, and a surface quality equivalent to that of Drawing Quality Rimmed Steel.
