Mill produced EDDQ hot bands were used to investigate how the hot-rolled structure affected the properties of cold-rolled sheet steels. Mixed grains were observed on the edge of both hot bands with and without the use of edge heater during hot rolling. Use of edge heater can reduce the region of mixed grains and improved the uniformity of mechanical properties along coil width, accordingly. Experimental results show that mixed grains exhibit little effect on most mechanical properties of the cold-rolled steel. However, they deteriorate r_0 value at the edge of cold-rolled steel significantly. Mill produced EDDQ galvannealed steel reveales that r_0 value at the distance of 30 mm from the edge is about 0.2 lower than that in the middle position. This result is similar to that of laboratory result, but less significant.
