Abstract

Provided is a manufacturing method of composite-phase steel. The method includes: reheating a steel slab including, by wt %, C:0.05 to 0.15%, Si:0.01 to 1.0%, Mn:1.0 to 2.3%, Al:0.01 to 0.1%, Cr:0.005 to 1.0%, P:0.001 to 0.05%, S:0.001 to 0.01%, N:0.001 to 0.01%, Nb:0.005 to 0.07%, Ti 0.005 to 0.11%, Fe and unavoidable impurities at a temperature of 1200 to 1350° C.; finish hot rolling the reheated steel slab; primarily cooling the hot-rolled steel sheet to a mid-temperature range of 550 to 650° C.; and secondarily cooling a region of the head part and the tail part corresponding to an outer wound portion of a coil during winding to a temperature range from 450 to 550° C., and secondarily cooling a region of the mid part corresponding to an inner wound portion of the coil to the temperature range from 400 to 500° C., and coiling the secondly cooled steel sheet.
