In order to provide a cost-effective, time saving method for producing aging-resistant strip consisting of aluminum-killed steel, for which, initially, a strip is produced in the usual manner by rolling and the rolled strip is annealed continuously, the still hot strip is wound into a coil and cooled to room temperature, the strip, cooled in the coil, being finally finished.

Method for producing aging-resistant strip from an aluminum-killed steel

A method of producing cold-rolled, high-strength steel strip with good plasticity and isotropic properties out of steel comprising no more than 0.08% carbon, no more than 10% silicon, no more than 1.8% manganese, between 0.010 and 0.10% phosphorus, no more than 0.02% sulfur, no more than 0.08% aluminum and no more than 0.008% nitrogen by weight plus one or more of the elements titanium, vanadium, niobium, and zirconium, the remainder being iron, by hot rolling, cold rolling, and recrystallization annealing; followed by temper rolling. The steel contains either three times as much titanium or six times as much niobium or zirconium as nitrogen.
