Abstract

See full text

Provided is a high-strength steel sheet having a tensile strength of 1180 MPa or more. The high-strength steel sheet has a specific chemical composition, includes a microstructure meeting all conditions (1) to (4) as measured by specific methods at a position corresponding to one-fourth the thickness of the steel sheet, has excellent workability and low-temperature toughness, and has a tensile strength of 1180 MPa or more. (1) The microstructure includes ferrite in a volume fraction of 5% to 35% and at least one of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite in a volume fraction of 50% or more relative to the entire microstructure. (2) The microstructure includes MA constituent in a volume fraction of 20% or less (excluding 0%) relative to the entire microstructure, where the MA constituent is a mixed phase of fresh martensite and retained austenite. (3) The microstructure includes retained austenite in a volume fraction of 5% or more relative to the entire microstructure. (4) The microstructure has an amount of stacking faults in the retained austenite of 10.0×10−3 (nm/nm2) or less.
