Provided are a high-strength steel sheet and a method for manufacturing same, the high-strength steel sheet including: an alloy system having C, Si, Mn, Cr, Al, Nb, Ti, B, P, S, N, and the remainder of Fe and other inevitable impurities. The contents of C, Si, and Al satisfy equation (1) below. The microstructure includes, by an area fraction, greater than 50% to 70% or less of tempered martensite, and the remainder of residual austenite, fresh martensite, ferrite, and bainite, in which a cementite phase as a second phase is precipitated and distributed in an area fraction of 1-3% between bainite laths, or at a lath on the tempered martensite or grain boundaries. [Equation (1)][C]+([Si]+[Al])/5; 0.35 wt. % (wherein [C], [Si], and [Al] denote wt % of C, Si, and Al, respectively.)

High-strength steel sheet and manufacturing method thereof

Provided is a high-strength steel sheet including: 0.12% to less than 0.17% of carbon (C), 0.3% to 0.8% of silicon (Si), 2.5% to 3.0% of manganese (Mn), 0.4% to 1.1% of chromium (Cr), 0.01% to 0.3% of aluminum (Al), 0.01% to 0.03% of niobium (Nb), 0.01% to 0.03% of titanium (Ti), 0.001% to 0.003% of boron (B), 0.04% or less of phosphorus (P), 0.01% or less of sulfur(S): 0.01% or less of nitrogen (N), and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities. The contents of C, Si, and Al satisfy: [C]+([Si]+[Al])/5≤0.35 wt %. A microstructure includes more than 1% to 4% or less of retained austenite, more than 10% to 20% or less of fresh martensite, 5% or less (excluding 0%) of ferrite, more than 50% to 70% or less of tempered martensite, and a balance of bainite.
