Effect of 1.18 wI.% copper on the annealing behaviour and the resulting mechanical properties in conventional mild interstitial free steel has been investigated. It is revealed that copper forms complex precipitates during batch annealing and modifies the batch annealing characteristics as compared with the base steel. Accordingly, strength-formability parameters are influenced as well. In case of continuous annealing, solute copper controls the mechanical properties.
