Abstract
A cold rolled steel sheet having a good ageing resistance is produced by subjecting a cold rolled steel sheet to continuous annealing including recrystallization, grain growth, quenching, supercooling, reheating and overageing according to inclinatory cooling, where after the recrystallization and the grain growth, the steel sheet is quenched at a cooling rate of 50 to 250.degree. C./sec from 720-600.degree. C. to 200-310.degree. C.; after retaining the steel sheet at the same temperature for 0 to 15 seconds, the steel sheet is reheated by at least 40.degree. C. up to 320-400.degree. C.; then the steel sheet is retained at the same temperature or cooled at a rate of not more than 0.7.degree. C./sec including the time for retaining the steel sheet at the same temperature; and then the steel sheet is cooled at an average cooling rate of not more than 10.degree. C./sec in a temperature zone of higher than 350.degree. C., at a specific average cooling rate in a temperature zone of 350.degree. C. to 300.degree. C. and at a specific average cooling rate down to 285-220.degree. C. in a temperature zone of lower than 300.degree. C.
