A nitrided packaging steel in the form of a flat steel product and method for producing a nitrided packaging steel with a carbon content of 10-1000 ppm and uncombined nitrogen, dissolved in the steel, of more than 100 ppm. The nitriding is performed in two stages: a first stage, in which a molten steel is nitrided to a nitrogen content of at most 160 ppm by introducing a nitrogen-containing gas and/or a nitrogen-containing solid into the molten steel, and a second stage, in which a flat steel product produced from the nitrided molten steel by cold rolling is treated with a nitrogen-containing gas in order to increase further the amount of uncombined nitrogen in the flat steel product.

Method for producing a nitrided packaging steel

The invention relates to a method for producing packaging steel consisting of a cold-rolled steel sheet made of unalloyed or low-alloy steel having a carbon content of less than 0.1%. In order to provide high-strength packaging steel that has good formability and high corrosion resistance and can be produced in as energy-saving a manner as possible, the steel sheet according to the invention is first coated with a metallic coating and then annealed in a recrystallizing manner at a heating rate of more than 75 K/s and preferably more than 100 K/s to temperatures of more than 700&#xb0; C., such that the metallic coating melts. The coated and annealed steel sheet is then quenched to normal temperature at a cooling rate of at least 100 K/s.

Method for producing packaging steel

The invention relates to the use of a steel sheet provided with a protective layer for producing a ring-pull top or a can having a ring-pull top, where the steel sheet is made of an unalloyed or low-alloy steel having a carbon content of less than 0.1% by weight, and also an associated process. The problem proceeding from known steel sheets having a protective layer, namely to provide a steel sheet by means of which ring-pull tops which for a constant residual wall thickness of the notch line have a lower tear-off force can be produced by means of the ring-pull top, is solved by the steel sheet being recrystallizingly heat treated at a heating rate of more than 75 K/s and after the recrystallizing heat treatment cooled at a cooling rate of at least 100 K/s and then coated with the protective layer.
