Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0718411A1] A steel strip from which drink cans are to be made, is prepared from a hot-rolled strip of very low carbon steel, which is first cold-rolled, then annealed at 600-700 degrees C, then cold-rolled again with at least two passes to reduce its thickness by at least 35%, pref. 38-47%. Pref. the process is continuous, and the two passes reduce the thickness by at least 25% and 5% respectively. The steel may comprise ≥ 0.006% C, ≥ 0.02% Si, 0.15-0.35% Mn, ≥ 0.015% S, ≥ 0.015% P, ≥ 0.006% N, 0.02-0.06% Al and the rest Fe apart from incidental impurities. The resulting strip has a thickness less than 0.2 mm, pref. less than 0.17 mm, and a bursting strength of at least 600 MPa.
