Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0703298A1] Mild steel sheet is made by hot rolling slab into sheet followed by cold rolling the sheet. The cold rolled sheet is then subjected to a first anneal in which the steel is recrystallised and the carbon passed into solid soln.. The recrystallisation temp. is held for a while to enable some over-ageing and the amt. of carbon dissolved in the soln. exceeds a predetermined value. The sheet is then subjected to a second anneal at a low temp. which precipitates some of the carbon in soln.. Finally, the sheet is subjected to a skin passing operation.
