Abstract
The present invention provides a steel for steel sheets excellent in workability and showing significantly decreased formation of surface defects, and a method of deoxidizing molten steel for the steel for steel sheets which prevents nozzle clogging during continuous-casting the molten steel. That is, the steel for steel sheets excellent in workability, comprises, based on weight, 0.0001 to 0.0030% of C, up to 0.03% of Si, 0.05 to 0.30% of Mn, up to 0.015% of P, 0.001 to 0.015% of S, up to 0.008% of Al, 0.02 to 0.08% of Ti, 0.0005 to 0.0020% of Ca, 0.0005 to 0.01% of N, optionally containing at least one of 0.001 to 0.02 wt % of Nb and 0.0001 to 0.0010 wt % of B, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities. Moreover, the deoxidation method of the steel for steel sheets comprises properly adjusting addition amounts of Ca and Al as deoxidizing agents for the steel having the chemical composition mentioned above so that the chemical composition of the nonmetallic inclusions is controlled to prevent clogging of the casting nozzle.
