Furthermore, in order to prevent the formation of pearlite and / or bainite, after the slow cooling is completed at 550 ° C. or higher, rapid cooling is performed at a cooling rate of 25 ° C./sec or more, and winding is perlite and / or bainite and / or residual. The temperature is lower than 350 ° C. in order to prevent generation of 5% or more of austenite. Further, rapid cooling may be performed immediately after rolling for the purpose of increasing the ferrite space factor, reducing the grain size of ferrite and martensite, and reducing the hot run table length.
