Abstract

The present invention relates to a steel sheet for Vitreous enameling excellent in enameling properties (bubbling and black spot resistance, enamel adhesiveness and fish scale resistance) and workability, and a method for producing the same, and is characterized in that the steel sheet contains, in mass of, C: 0.010% or less, Mn: 0.03 to 1.3%, Si: 0.03% or less, Al: 0.02% or less, N: 0.0055% or less, P: below 0.035%, and S: over 0.025% to 0.08%; and the density change of the steel sheet from before an annealing to after an annealing at 850° C. for 20 hours, in a hydrogen atmosphere is 0.02% or more.

Claims (30)

1. A vitreous enameling steel sheet in one-coat enameling, the steel sheet consisting of, in mass,

C: 0.0025% or less,

Mn: 0.05 to 0.8%,

Si: 0.015% or less,

Al: below 0.015%,

N: 0.0045% or less,

O: 0.005 to 0.055%,

P: below 0.025%,

S: over 0.025% to 0.08%,

Cu: 0.02 to 0.045%,

Nb: 0.036 to 0.06%, and

V: 0.003 to 0.06%,

with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities,

having voids 0.10 μm or more in size among oxide grains by changing strain rate in a hot rolling, said voids dispersed in the interior of the steel sheet, a density change of the steel sheet from before annealing to after annealing at 850° C. for 20 h. in a hydrogen atmosphere is 0.02% or more, and having an aging index of 5 MPa or less.

2. A vitreous enameling steel sheet in one-coat enameling, the steel sheet consisting of, in mass,

C: 0.0025% or less,

Mn: 0.05 to 0.8%,

Si: 0.015% or less,

Al: below 0.015%,

N: 0.0045% or less,

O: 0.005 to 0.055%,

P: below 0.025%,

S: over 0.025% to 0.08%,

Cu: 0.02 to 0.045%,

Nb: 0.036 to 0.06%,

V: 0.003 to 0.06%, and

one or more of As, Ti, B, Ni, Se, Cr, Ta, W, Mo and Sb at 0.02 mass %

or less in total,

with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities,

having voids 0.10 μm or more in size among oxide grains by changing strain rate in a hot rolling, said voids dispersed in the interior of the steel sheet, a density change of the steel sheet from before annealing to after annealing at 850° C. for 20 h. in a hydrogen atmosphere is 0.02% or more, and having an aging index of 5 MPa or less.
