Abstract

A high strength steel sheet for automobiles which exhibits excellent press-formability strength against impact resistance at a high strain rate is hot rolled under specific conditions, or is cold rolled from hot rolled sheet which is prepared under conventional conditions, with the cold rolled steel being annealed under specific conditions. The steel sheet comprises 0.010-0.10 wt % of C, not greater than 1.50 wt % of Si, 0.50-3.00 wt % of Mn, not greater than 0.010 wt % of S and 0.01-0.1 wt % of Al, and one kind or two kinds selected from 0.05-0.15 wt % of P and 0.5-1.5 wt % of Cr, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities and having a structure mainly composed of 2-30 vol % of martensite phase and a ferrite phase containing a solution C not greater than 0.0010 wt %.
