Abstract
Abstract A method for producing a low alloy hot rolled steel strip or sheet comprising hot rolling a steel slab at a finishing temperature not higher than the Ar3 transformation temperature plus 60 DEG C. and cooling and coiling the hot rolled strip at a temperature not higher than 500 DEG C. The steel slab contains not more than 0.20% carbon, 0.50 to 2.50% manganese and 0.05 to 1.0% chromium and optionally contains not more than 1.0% silicon, the balance being iron and unavoidable impurities. The resultant strip or sheet has a high tensile strength of not less than 40 kg/mm2, a low yeild ratio of not more than 70% and an excellent total elongation of not less than 25%.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A method for producing a low alloy hot rolled steel strip or sheet comprising: hot rolling a steel slab consisting essentially of not more than 0.20% carbon, 0.50 to 2.50% manganese and 0.05 to 1.0% chromium with the balance being iron and unavoidable impurities at a finishing temperature not higher than the Ar 3 transformation temperature plus 60° C., cooling the hot rolled steel strip or sheet, and coiling the hot rolled steel strip or sheet at a temperature not higher than 500° C., wherein said sheet or strip in the as hot rolled condition has high tensile strength of not less than 40 kg/mm 2 , low yield ratio of less than about 60%, and excellent total elongation of not less than 25%.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
124 words
A method for producing a low alloy hot rolled steel strip or sheet comprising: hot rolling a steel slab consisting essentially of not more than 0.20% carbon, 0.50 to 2.50% manganese and 0.05 to 1.0% chromium with the balance being iron and unavoidable impurities at a finishing temperature not higher than the Ar 3 transformation temperature plus 60° C., cooling the hot rolled steel strip or sheet, and coiling the hot rolled steel strip or sheet at a temperature not higher than 500° C., wherein said sheet or strip in the as hot rolled condition has high tensile strength of not less than 40 kg/mm 2 , low yield ratio of less than about 60%, and excellent total elongation of not less than 25%.
