Abstract
The present invention provides a very thin steel sheet and production method thereof that, in a very thin steel sheet of 0.4 mm or less thickness, enable production at low addition of special elements, simultaneous achievement of both good workability and anti-aging property, and stable passing of even wide coil in a continuous annealing process, which very thin steel sheet and production method.
