20090126837	COLD ROLLED STEEL SHEET HAVING SUPERIOR FORMABILITY AND HIGH YIELD RATIO, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - Disclosed herein is a Nb—Ti composite IF steel in which fine precipitates, such as CuS precipitates, having a size of 0.2 μm or less are distributed. The distribution of fine precipitates in the Nb—Ti composite IF steel enhances the yield strength and lowers the in-plane anisotropy index. The nanometer-sized precipitates allow the formation of minute crystal grains. As a result, dissolved carbon is present in a larger amount in the crystal grain boundaries than within the crystal grains, which is advantageous in terms of room-temperature non-aging properties and bake handenability.	05-21-2009

20090020196	Cold Rolled Steel Sheet Having Aging Resistance and Superior Formability, and Process for Producing the Same - A cold rolled steel sheet, and a method of manufacturing the same, designed to have aging resistance and excellent formability suitable for use in automobile bodies, electronic appliances, and the like. The cold rolled steel sheet comprises in weight %: 0.003% or less of C, 0.003˜0.03% of S, 0.01˜0.1% of Al, 0.02% or less of N, 0.2% or less of P, at least one of 0.03˜0.2% of Mn and 0.005˜0.2% of Cu, and a balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurities. When the steel sheet comprises one of Mn and Cu, the composition of Mn, Cu, and S satisfies at least one relationship: 0.58Mn/S≦10 and 1≦0.5Cu/S≦10, and when the steel sheet comprises both Mn and Cu, the composition of Mn, Cu, and S satisfies the relationship: Mn+Cu≦0.3 and 2≦0.5*(Mn+Cu)/S≦20. Participates of MnS, CuS, and (Mn, Cu)S in the steel sheet have an average size of 0.2 μm or less. Since carbon content in a solid solution state in a crystal grain is controlled by fine precipitates of MnS, CuS, or (Mn, Cu)S, the steel sheet has enhanced aging resistance and formability, and has excellent yield strength and strength-ductility.	01-22-2009

20080206592	Galvanized Stell-Sheet Without Spangle, Manufacturing Method Thereof and Device Used Therefor - A spangle-free, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, and a method and device for manufacturing the same. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet is characterized in that a solidified zinc crystal of hot-dip galvanized layer has an average crystalline texture particle diameter of 10 to 88 μm and there is no solidification traces of dendrites upon observing under a microscope at a magnification of 100×. The method comprises dipping a steel sheet in a bath of a zinc-coating solution containing 0.13 to 0.3% by weight of aluminum; air-wiping the steel sheet to remove an excess of the coating solution; spraying water or an aqueous solution on the air-wiped steel sheet, using a steel sheet temperature in the range of a hot-dip galvanization temperature to 419° C. as a spray initiation temperature and using a steel sheet temperature in the range of 417° C. to 415° C. as a spray completion temperature; passing sprayed liquid droplets of water or aqueous solution through a mesh-like high-voltage charged electrode which is electrically charged with a high voltage of −1 to −50 kV; and allowing the electrode-passed liquid droplets to be bound to the surface of the steel sheet and hereby being served as solidification nuclei of molten zinc.	08-28-2008
