Abstract

In a process of making a cold-reduced steel strip for press-forming by a continuous annealing process comprising a rapid cooling step after recrystallization heating and an over-aging treatment step, when no spray of cooling water at the runout table before coiling in the hot-rolling stage is carried out on the top side and the bottom side of a travelling hot-rolled steel strip by about 20 to 200m respectively, a cold reduced soft steel sheet for press-forming is easily obtained by the above continuous annealing process.
