Abstract
Abstract A steel sheet for DI can having improved DI workability and resistance to die abrasion has such a surface profile that a center-line average surface roughness is within a range of 0.1˜4.0 μm and a microscopic shape is comprised of mountain portions, groove-like valley portions and middle flat portions satisfying particular dimension relations.
