Abstract

Method for overaging hot dip metal coated steel material to improve formability, comprising rapidly heating the material to a temperature of above 300.degree. C. but below that at which the coating is undesirably denatured at heating rate of at least 50.degree. C./sec., followed by controlled slow cooling of cooling rate of not more than 20.degree. C./sec. Total processing time required can be one or two minutes, thus the method can be continuously carried out.
