摘要:
A steel sheet contains, in terms of percent by mass, C: 0.01 to 0.2%, Si: 2.0% or less, and Mn: 3.0% or less and has a martensite phase as dominant phase and ferrite with a grain size of 20 μm or less as a second phase. The ferrite is contained in area ratio of 1% to 30% and the amount of solute carbon being 0.01 percent by mass of more. The steel sheet can provide a hot-rolled steel sheet suitable for automobile steel sheet, i.e., has excellent press workability and excellent strain aging property whereby the tensile strength significantly increases by heat treatment at about the same temperature as typical baking process after the press-working. Moreover, hardening of the ferrite phase improves the fatigue strength after the strain aging.

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.

In at least one pass, rolling is conducted within a temperatures range lower than the Ar3 transformation point but not lower than 500.degree. C., in such a manner that the roll radius R (mm) and the blank thickness t (mm) before rolling by rolls satisfy the relationships of R.ltoreq.200 and R.sup.2 .times..sqroot.t.ltoreq.100000, and the total rolling reduction at temperature lower than the Ar3 transformation point is not lower than 60%. The hot-rolled steel sheet possesses a high level of Lankford value, and is free from cold-working embrittlement. The method may include the step of obtaining, after the rolling, pickling, annealing and hot dip galvanizing under certain conditions, a surface-treated steel sheet having excellent deep-drawability.
