There are provided a shape-correcting and rolling method and a shape-correcting device for effectively correcting the shape of high-strength steel. The shape-correcting and rolling method includes: transferring a hot-rolled coil to a pay-off reel after cooling the hot-rolled coil or directly through a hot rolling to skin pass mill direct transfer process; unwinding the coil from the pay-off reel; correcting a shape of a strip unwound from the coil by using a heat pipe roller; and rewinding the strip as a coil.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a plated steel sheet having excellent image clarity after coating. The method includes: providing a cold rolled steel sheet by cold rolling; plating the cold rolled steel sheet to manufacture a plated steel sheet; and temper rolling the plated steel sheet by inserting the plated steel sheet into a temper rolling mill. A long-wavelength waviness (Wsa1-5) of a final stand rolling roll is 0.4 m or less (not including 0) during the cold rolling.

An aluminium-zinc-hot-dipped and colour-coated steel plate having a 600 MPa yield strength grade and a high elongation and a manufacturing method thereof, with the chemical components in mass percentage of a substrate of the steel plate being: 0.07-0.15% of C, 0.02-0.5% of Si, 1.3-1.8% of Mn, N0.004%, S0.01%, Ti0.20%, Nb0.060%, and the balance being Fe and other inevitable impurities, and meanwhile satisfying the conditions of: (C+Mn/6)0.3%; Mn/S150; Nb satisfying 0.01%(Nb-0.22C-1.1N)0.06% where no Ti is contained; Ti satisfying 0.5Ti/C1.5 where no Nb is contained; and 0.04%(Ti+Nb)0.26% where Ti and Nb are added in combination. The steel plate has a yield strength of 600 MPa, a tensile strength of 650 MPa, an elongation after fracture of 12%, a good strength and toughness and an excellent corrosion resistance.

The invention relates to a steel sheet skin-pass rolled with a deterministic surface structure, and to a method for producing it.

A cut-to-length steel coil processing line has an un-coiling reel, a temper mill, a stretcher leveler, a shearer, and a stacking apparatus arranged to sequentially process a continuous length of sheet metal. The line may be configured such that the continuous length of the sheet metal is directed from the uncoiling reel through the temper mill to the stacking apparatus without processing through the stretcher leveler when a determined thickness of the continuous length of sheet metal is at or below a selected measurement criteria. In the alternative, the line may be configured such that the continuous length of the sheet metal is directed from the uncoiling reel through the stretcher leveler to the stacking apparatus without processing through the temper mill when the determined thickness of the continuous length of sheet metal is greater than the selected measurement criteria.

A method of forming and processing a high strength aluminum alloy for the production of a vehicle component includes providing a metal sheet that was rolled from an aluminum alloy. The sheet is heat treated through a first aging step of a set of aging steps that are necessary to achieve a T6 or a T7 temper state. Prior to achieving the T6 or a T7 temper state, the sheet is formed to a desired shape and welded in the desired shape to produce a desired vehicle component. Once formed, the vehicle component is heat treated through a remaining aging step to achieve a T6 or T7 temper state homogeneously throughout the vehicle component.

In a ferritic stainless steel sheet, the arithmetic average roughness Ra is 0.2 m or more and 1.2 m or less. In addition, the dull pattern transfer rate on the steel sheet surface is 15% or more and 70% or less. Furthermore, micropits with a depth of 0.5 m or more and an open area of 10 m.sup.2 or more which are formed on the steel sheet surface have an existing density of 10.0 or less per 0.01 mm.sup.2 and an open area ratio of 1.0% or less. In addition, a film formed on the steel sheet surface is constituted from an oxide containing SiO.sub.2 as a main constituent, which oxide contains at least Si, N, Al, Mn, Cr, Fe, Nb, Ti and O as film-forming elements other than C, wherein the Si content is 10 at % or more, and the N content is 10 at % or less.

A hot-rolled steel sheet includes a chemical composition represented by, in mass %, C: 0.010% to 0.100%, Si: 0.30% or less, Cr: 0.05% to 1.00%, Nb: 0.003% to 0.050%, Ti: 0.003% to 0.200% and others, wherein a proportion of grains having an intragranular misorientation of 5 to 14 in all grains is 20% or more by area ratio, the grain being defined as an area which is surrounded by a boundary having a misorientation of 15 or more and has a circle-equivalent diameter of 0.3 m or more.
