Abstract

A high strength cold rolled steel sheet consists essentially of 0.0040 to 0.01% C, not more than 0.05% Si, 0.1 to 1.0% Mn, 0.01 to 0.05% P, not more than 0.02% S, 0.01 to 0.1% sol.Al, not more than 0.004% N, 0.01 to 0.14% Nb, by weight, and a balance of substantially Fe and inevitable impurities, and having an n value of not less than 0.21 calculated from two points (1% and 10%) of nominal strain determined by the uniaxial tensile test, and a method for manufacturing the cold rolled steel sheet. The high strength cold rolled steel sheet has excellent combined formability, resistance to embrittlement during secondary operation, formability at welded portions, and anti-burring performance, and has a desirable surface appearance and uniformity of material in a coil, and thus can be desirably used for automobile exterior panels.
