Patent number: 8257517Abstract: A steel sheet excellent in mechanical strength, workability and thermal stability and suited for use as a raw material in such fields of manufacturing automobiles, household electric appliances and machine structures and of constructing buildings, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The steel sheet is a hot-rolled steel sheet of carbon steel or low-alloy steel, the main phase of which is ferrite, and is characterized in that the average ferrite crystal grain diameter D (?m) at the depth of ¼ of the sheet thickness from the steel sheet surface satisfies the relations respectively defined by the formulas (1) and (2) given below and the increase rate X (?m/min) in average ferrite crystal grain diameter at 700° C. at the depth of ¼ of the sheet thickness from the steel sheet surface and said average crystal grain diameter D (?m) satisfy the relation defined by the formula (3) given below: 1.2?D?7??formula (1) D?2.7+5000/(5+350·C+40·Mn)2??formula (2) D·X?0.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2011Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Toshirou Tomida, Norio Imai, Mitsuru Yoshida, Kaori Kawano, Masayuki Wakita, Tamotsu Toki, Masanori Yasuyama, Hitomi Nishibata
