Abstract
A method of producing a steel sheet useful for making cans. The method steps include hot-rolling a slab consisting of about 0.0005 to 0.01 wt % C, about 0.001 to 0.04 wt % N (the total of C and N is at least about 0.008 wt %), about 0.05 to 2.0 wt % Mn, about 0.005 wt % or less Al, about 0.01 wt % or less O at a finish rolling temperature within a temperature range of about the Ar.sub.3 point to about 950.degree. C., coiling the rolled material at a temperature range of about 400 to 600.degree. C., cold rolling the material, continuously annealing the material at a temperature higher than the recrystallization temperature, and then temper-rolling the material. The steel sheet exhibits good workability during can making and which can be formed into a can having high strength.
