Abstract

A cold-rolled steel sheet for vitreous enameling has a predetermined chemical composition, in which a number density of Fe—Mn—Nb-based composite oxides having a diameter of 0.2 μm to 10 μm is 2×10 2 particle/mm 2 to 1×10 4 particle/mm 2 ; a fatigue limit ratio is higher than 0.42 after performing a heat treatment with an applied tensile strain of 10% at a heating temperature of 830° C. for a holding time of 5 minutes; voids are formed between the metallographic structure and the Fe—Mn—Nb-based composite oxides, and an equivalent circle diameter of the voids is 0.1 μm to 0.6 μm; and when each of the voids is approximated as a triangle and a long side of the triangle is set as a base, a value obtained by dividing a length of the base by a height of the triangle is 1.0 to 15.

S: 0.0050% to 0.050%,

Nb: 0.020% to 0.080%,

Cu: 0.015% to 0.045%, and

a remainder including Fe and impurities,

wherein when a C content is represented by C (%), a Mn content is represented by Mn (%), a P content is represented by P (%), and a Nb content is represented by Nb (%), the following expression (1) is satisfied;

a metallographic structure contains ferrite, and an average grain size of the ferrite at a ¼ thickness position from a surface in a thickness direction is 12.0 μm or less;

a number density of Fe—Mn—Nb-based composite oxides containing Fe, Mn, and Nb and having a diameter of 0.2 μm to 10 μm is 2×10 2 particle/mm 2 to 1×10 4 particle/mm 2 ;

a fatigue limit ratio, which is a value obtained by dividing a fatigue strength by a tensile strength, is higher than 0.42, the fatigue strength being a stress at 10 7 cycles after performing a heat treatment with an applied tensile strain of 10% at a heating temperature of 830° C. for a holding time of 5 minutes;
