Steel having excellent workability and deep drawability is produced by an electric furnace-vacuum degassing process. The steel has a composition which comprises about: C: 0.0050 wt % or less Si: 1.5 wt % or less Mn: 1.5 wt % or less P: 0.10 wt % or less Al: 0.10 wt % or less S: 0.020 wt % or less O: 0.01 wt % or less Cu: 0.02-1.5 wt % Ni: 0.02-2.0 wt % Ti and/or Nb: from 0.001 to 0.10 wt % N: from 0.0040 to 0.0090 wt %.

Disclosed are bake-hardenable sheet steel with good anti-aging property and a method for producing it. While controlling its C, P, S and N contents, the chemical composition of the sheet steel is defined to comprise not larger than 1.0% of Si, not larger than 3.0% of Mn, from 0.01 to 0.20% of Al and from 0.001 to 0.2% of Ti, in terms of % by weight. The value A (=(AIQUENCH−AI)/AIQUENCH) of the sheet steel is defined to be not smaller than 0.4 and the value AIQUENCH thereof to be not smaller than 30; or the ratio of the mean misorientation, M (degree), to the mean grain size, G (&mgr;m), M/G, of the sheet steel is defined to be not smaller than 0.8. The steel may additionally contain from 0.001 to 0.2% of Nb and/or from 0.0001 to 0.0080% of B. While controlling its Si, Mn, S, Al and N contents, the chemical composition of a steel slab is defined to comprise from 0.005 to 0.02% of C, not larger than 0.05% of P and from 0.025 to 0.19% of Nb, with satisfying the condition of 0.7×(C/12)≦Nb/93≦1.2×(C/12) (where C indicates the C content (wt. %), and Nb indicates the Nb content (wt. %)). To produce bake-hardenable sheet steel from it, the slab is heated, hot-rolled at a finishing delivery temperature of from 960 to 650° C., coiled at a temperature of from 750 to 400° C., then cold-rolled to a reduction of from 50 to 95%, and thereafter annealed for recrystallization at a temperature of from 750 to 920° C. The slab may additionally contain B and/or Ti. The invention stably produces bake-hardenable sheet steel on an industrial scale.

The steel pipe has a structure composed mainly of ferrite or ferrite plus pearlite or ferrite plus cementite. The steel pipe is characterized by grain size not greater than 3 &mgr;m, preferably not greater than 1 &mgr;m, elongation greater than 20%, tensile strength (TS:MPa) and elongation (E1:%) whose product is greater than 10000, and percent ductile fracture greater than 95%, preferably 100%, measured by Charpy impact test on an actual pipe at −100° C. The structure is characterized by C: 0.005-0.03%, Si: 0.01-3.0%, Mn: 0.01-2.0%, and Al: 0.001-0.10% on a weight basis, and is composed of ferrite or ferrite and a secondary phase, with ferrite grains being not greater than 3 &mgr;m and the secondary phase having an areal ratio not more than 30%. A steel pipe stock having the above-mentioned composition is heated at a temperature of (Ac1+50° C.) to 400° C. and subsequently reduced at a rolling temperature of (Ac1+50° C.) to 400° C. such that the cumulative reduction of diameter is greater than 20%. The reducing is preferably performed such that at least one of rolling passes reduces the diameter by more than 6% per pass. The steel pipe will have high ductility and high strength and will be superior in toughness and stress corrosion cracking resistance, if the content of C, Si, Mn, and other alloying elements is limited low and reducing is performed at the temperature specified above. The resulting steel pipe has good fatigue resistance and is suitable for use as line pipe.

A steel pipe containing fine ferrite crystal grains, which has excellent toughness and ductility and good ductility-strength balance as well as superior collision impact resistance, and a method for producing the same are provided. A steel pipe containing super-fine crystal grains can be produced by heating a base steel pipe having ferrite grains with an average crystal diameter of di (&mgr;m), in which C, Si, Mn and Al are limited within proper ranges, and if necessary, Cu, Ni, Cr and Mo, or Nb, Ti, V, B, etc. are further added, at not higher than the Ac3 transformation point, and applying reducing at an average rolling temperature of &thgr;m (°C.) and a total reduction ration Tred (%) within s temperature range of from 400 to Ac3 transformation point, with di, &thgr;m and Tred being in a relation satisfying a prescribed equation.

The present invention provides a steel sheet having a chemical composition comprising 0.15% or less C, 2.0% or less Si, 3.0% or less Mn, P, S, A1 and N in adjusted amounts, from 0.5 to 3.0% Cu, or one or more of Cr, Mo and W in a total amount of 2.0% or less, and having a composite structure comprising ferrite and martensite having an area ratio of 2% or more. The steel sheet is in the form of a high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet, a high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet, or a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet. There is thus available a steel sheet excellent in press-formability and in strain age hardening property as represented by a ΔTS of 80 MPa or more.

A steel sheet composition contains appropriate amounts of C, Si, Mn, P, S, Al and N and 0.5 to 3.0% Cu. A composite structure of the steel sheet has a ferrite phase or a ferrite phase and a tempered martensite phase as a primary phase, and a secondary phase containing retained austenite in a volume ratio of not less than 1%. In place of the Cu, at least one of Mo, Cr, and W may be contained in a total amount of not more than 2.0%. This composition is useful in production of a high-ductility hot-rolled steel sheet, a high-ductility cold-rolled steel sheet and a high-ductility hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent press formability and excellent stain age hardenability as represented by a &Dgr;TS of not less than 80 MPa, in which the tensile strength increases remarkably through a heat treatment at a relatively low temperature after press forming.
