Abstract
A thin ferritic steel sheet having an excellent shape fixability capable of being used for bending is provided, comprising: at least 0.027 to less than 0.05 mass % of C, 0.01 to 1.0 mass % of Si, 0.01 to 2.0 mass % of Mn, not more than 0.15 mass % of P, not more than 0.03 mass % of S, 0.01 to 0.1 mass % of Al, not more than 0.01 mass % of N, not more than 0.007 mass % of O, the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein a ratio of presence of {100} planes parallel with a face of the steel sheet to {111} planes is not less than 1.0, and TS×El, which represents a product of maximum tensile strength (TS) multiplied by rupture elongation (El) of the steel sheet, is at least 13,860 MPA %.
