- the prepared cold-annealed steel sheet were cut into samples with a thickness of 0.1 to 3.0 mm. Then, for each sample, an average grain size (d) of a central portion in a thickness direction, a pitting potential, a martensite area fraction of a bent portion, cracks in the bent portion, surface properties of the bent portion, a center line average height Ra of the bent portion, and a ten point average roughness Rz of the bent portion were measured and the results are shown in Table 2 below.
- the average grain size (d) was measured by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) (model no. e-Flash FS) by analyzing an orientation of the central portion.
- EBSD electron backscatter diffraction
- the pitting potential refers to a potential value at which pits are formed after immersing the sample in a NaCl solution and applying a potential thereto.
- a NaCl solution maintained at 30°C and having a concentration of 3.5% was used.
- the martensite area fraction of the bent portion (%) refers to an area fraction of martensite in the bent portion after the 180° bending test.
- the martensite area fraction (%) was measured by using a ferrite content measuring device (model no. FMP30).
- the cracks in the bent portion, the surface properties of the bent portion, the center line average height Ra of the bent portion, and the ten point average roughness Rz of the bent portion were measured after the 180° bending test.
- the 180° bending test was performed by setting a curvature R value of a bent portion to be identical to the thickness of the cold-annealed steel sheet and conducting a bending process once.
- 'O' indicates a fine state of cracks in bent portion.
- 'X' indicates occurrence of cracks in the bent portion.
- the S2 values of Equation (1) satisfied the range of at least -10 but not more than 10, and the average grain size (d) satisfied 5 ⁇ m or less.
- the martensite area fraction (%) measured in the bent portion after the 180° bending test satisfied 10% or less in Inventive Examples 1 to 13.
- Comparative Examples 12 to 14 Because the contents of Ni, which softens steel materials, of Comparative Examples 12 to 14 were more than that of Comparative Examples 1 to 11, surface cracks did not occur in the bent portion. However, bend-shaped uncrystallized portions were formed in Comparative Examples 12 to 14 due to low cold annealing temperatures. Therefore, Comparative Examples 12 to 14 exhibited poor surface properties because the center line average heights Ra were 1.16 to 3.92 ⁇ m and the ten point average roughnesses Rz were 7.05 to 16.20 ⁇ m in the bent portion as surface roughnesses.
