Abstract

This hot-rolled steel sheet has a predetermined chemical composition. The metallographic structure at a sheet thickness ¼ depth from a surface and at a center position in a sheet width direction in a sheet width cross section parallel to a rolling direction contains, by area %, 77.0% to 97.0% of bainite and tempered martensite in total, 0% to 5.0% of ferrite, 0% to 5.0% of pearlite, 3.0% or more of residual austenite, and 0% to 10.0% of martensite. The average grain size of the metallographic structure excluding the residual austenite is 7.0 μm or less. The C concentration in the residual austenite is 0.5 mass % or more. The number density of iron-based carbides having a diameter of 20 nm or more is 1.0×10 6 carbides/mm 2 or more.
