Abstract

A high-strength steel sheet includes a steel structure with: ferrite being 35% to 80% and tempered martensite being greater than 5% and 20% or less in terms of area fraction; retained austenite being 8% or more in terms of volume fraction; an average grain size of: the ferrite being 6 μm or less; and the retained austenite being 3 μm or less; a value obtained by dividing an area fraction of blocky austenite by a sum of area fractions of lath-like austenite and the blocky austenite being 0.6 or more; a value obtained by dividing, by mass %, an average Mn content in the retained austenite by an average Mn content in the ferrite being 1.5 or more; and a value obtained by dividing, by mass %, an average C content in the retained austenite by an average C content in the ferrite being 3.0 or more.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A high-strength steel sheet comprising:
a component composition including: by mass %, C: 0.030% to 0.250%; Si: 0.01% to 3.00%; Mn: 3.10% to 4.20%; P: 0.001% to 0.100%; S: 0.0001% to 0.0200%; N: 0.0005% to 0.0100%; Al: 0.010% to 1.200%; and balance Fe and inevitable impurities; and
a steel structure with:
ferrite being 35% to 80% and tempered martensite being greater than 5% and 20% or less in terms of area fraction;
retained austenite being 8% or more in terms of volume fraction;
an average grain size of the ferrite being 6 μm or less;
an average grain size of the retained austenite being 3 μm or less;
a value obtained by dividing an area fraction of blocky austenite by a sum of area fractions of lath-like austenite and the blocky austenite being 0.6 or more;
a value obtained by dividing an average Mn content, by mass %, in the retained austenite by an average Mn content, by mass %, in the ferrite being 1.5 or more; and
a value obtained by dividing an average C content, by mass %, in the retained austenite by an average C content, by mass %, in the ferrite being 3.0 or more,

wherein the high-strength steel sheet has a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more.

2. The high-strength steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the high-strength steel sheet includes a diffusible hydrogen amount in steel of 0.3 ppm by mass or less, the diffusible hydrogen being hydrogen having a temperature of 300° C. or less in a test piece of the steel sheet subject to annealing with a length of 30 mm and a width of 5 mm, and from which a plated layer was polished to be removed.

3. The high-strength steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the component composition further includes: by mass %, at least one element selected from Ti: 0.005% to 0.200%; Nb: 0.005% to 0.200%; V: 0.005% to 0.500%; W:0.005% to 0.500%; B: 0.0003% to 0.0050%; Ni: 0.005% to 1.000%; Cr: 0.005% to 1.000%; Mo: 0.005% to 1.000%; Cu: 0.005% to 1.000%; Sn: 0.002% to 0.200%; Sb: 0.002% to 0.200%; Ta: 0.001% to 0.100%; Ca: 0.0005% to 0.0050%; Mg: 0.0005% to 0.0050%; Zr: 0.0005% to 0.0050%; and REM: 0.0005% to 0.0050%.

4. The high-strength steel sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the component composition further includes: by mass %, at least one element selected from Ti: 0.005% to 0.200%; Nb: 0.005% to 0.200%; V: 0.005% to 0.500%; W:0.005% to 0.500%; B: 0.0003% to 0.0050%; Ni: 0.005% to 1.000%; Cr: 0.005% to 1.000%; Mo: 0.005% to 1.000%; Cu: 0.005% to 1.000%; Sn: 0.002% to 0.200%; Sb: 0.002% to 0.200%; Ta: 0.001% to 0.100%; Ca: 0.0005% to 0.0050%; Mg: 0.0005% to 0.0050%; Zr: 0.0005% to 0.0050%; and REM: 0.0005% to 0.0050%.
