The present embodiments relate to a cold-rolled steel sheet for a flux-cored wire and a method for manufacturing the same. According to an exemplary embodiment, a cold-rolled steel sheet for a flux-cored wire, including: by wt %, 0.0005 to 0.01% of carbon (C), 0.05 to 0.25% of manganese (Mn), 0.03% or less (except for 0%) of silicon (Si), 0.0005 to 0.01% of phosphorus (P), 0.001 to 0.008% of sulfur (S), 0.0001 to 0.010% of aluminum (Al), 0.0005 to 0.003% of nitrogen (N), 0.5 to 1.7% of nickel (Ni), 0.0005 to 0.0030% of boron (B), and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities, can be provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A cold-rolled steel sheet for a flux-cored wire, comprising: by wt %, 0.0005 to 0.01% of carbon (C), 0.05 to 0.25% of manganese (Mn), 0.03% or less, except for 0%, of silicon (Si), 0.0005 to 0.01% of phosphorus (P), 0.001 to 0.008% of sulfur(S), 0.0001 to 0.010% of aluminum (Al), 0.0005 to 0.003% of nitrogen (N), 0.5 to 1.7% of nickel (Ni), 0.0005 to 0.0030% of boron (B), and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities. 2 . The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein W, f defined by the following Equation 1 is 2.0 to 15.0; W, f =(41×[C]+28×[Al]+3.4×[S])*(25×[Ni]×30×[B])/(25×[N])  [Equation 1] in Equation 1, [C], [Al], [S], [Ni], [B] and [N] indicate the contents (wt %) of C, Al, S, Ni, B and N, respectively. 3 . The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the cold-rolled steel sheet has an elongation of 40% or more. 4 . A method for manufacturing a cold-rolled steel sheet for a flux-cored wire of claim 1 , the method comprising: manufacturing a slab comprising: by wt %, 0.0005 to 0.01% of carbon (C), 0.05 to 0.25% of manganese (Mn), 0.03% or less except for 0% of silicon (Si), 0.0005 to 0.01% of phosphorus (P), 0.001 to 0.008% of sulfur(S), 0.0001 to 0.010% of aluminum (Al), 0.0005 to 0.003% of nitrogen (N), 0.5 to 1.7% of nickel (Ni), 0.0005 to 0.0030% of boron (B), and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities; heating the slab; obtaining a hot-rolled steel sheet by hot rolling the heated slab such that a finishing hot rolling temperature is 890 to 950° C.; winding the hot-rolled steel sheet in a temperature range of 550 to 700° C.; obtaining a cold-rolled steel plate by cold rolling the wound hot-rolled steel plate at a rolling reduction ratio of 50 to 85%; and annealing the cold-rolled steel sheet in a temperature range of 700 to 850° C. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the slab has a W, f of 2.0 to 15.0, which is defined by the following Equation 1; W, f =(41×[C]+28×[Al]+3.4×[S])*(25×[Ni]×30×[B])/(25×[N])  [Equation 1] in Equation 1, [C], [Al], [S], [Ni], [B] and [N] indicate the contents (wt %) of C, Al, S, Ni, B and N, respectively. 6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein in the obtaining of the cold-rolled steel sheet, the rolling reduction ratio is in a range of 65 to 80%. 7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the annealing of the cold-rolled steel sheet is performed in a range of 730 to 845° C. 8 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising, after the annealing of the cold-rolled steel sheet, temper-rolling the annealed cold-rolled steel sheet. 9 . A flux-cored wire comprising: an outer skin made of the cold-rolled steel sheet described in claim 1 ; and a flux filled inside the outer skin. 10 . The flux-cored wire of claim 9 , wherein the flux-cored wire has an impact energy of 50 J or more at −20° C. 11 . The flux-cored wire of claim 9 , wherein the flux-cored wire has a welded portion segregation index of 0.15% or less. 12 . A welded member welded using the flux-cored wire of claim 9 and having a yield strength of 440 MPa or more. 13 . The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , comprising 1.03 to 1.7% of nickel (Ni). 14 . The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , comprising 1.37 to 1.7% of nickel (Ni).
