Steel sheet excellent in workability and method for producing the same

摘要

The present invention provides a steel sheet excellent in workability, which is used for panels, undercarriage components, structural members and the like of an automobile, and a method for producing said steel sheet. More specifically, the present invention is: a steel sheet excellent in workability, characterized in that said steel sheet contains, in mass, 0.08 to 0.25% C, 0.001 to 1.5% Si, 0.01 to 2.0% Mn, 0.001 to 0.06% P, 0.05% or less S, 0.001 to 0.007% N and 0.008 to 0.2% Al, with the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities, and that said steel sheet has the average r-value of 1.2 or more, the r-value in the rolling direction (rL) of 1.3 or more, the r-value in the direction of 45 degrees to the rolling direction (rD) of 0.9 or more, and the r-value in the direction of a right angle to the rolling direction (rC) of 1.2 or more; further a steel sheet excellent in workability according to claim 1, characterized in that the ratios of the X-ray diffraction intensities in the orientation components of {111}, {100} and {110} to the random X-ray diffraction intensities strength on a reflection plane at the thickness center of said steel sheet are 2.0 or more, 1.0 or less and 0.2 or more, respectively; a steel pipe made of said steel sheet; and methods for producing said steel sheet and steel pipe.
