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.
