Abstract

A steel sheet includes a microstructure containing a volume fraction of 20% to 55% of ferrite having an average grain size of 7 μm or less, a volume fraction of 5% to 15% of retained austenite, a volume fraction of 0.5% to 7% of martensite having an average grain size of 4 μm or less, and a structure composed of bainite and/or tempered martensite and having an average grain size of 6 μm or less, and a difference in nano-hardness between ferrite and the structure composed of bainite and/or tempered martensite being 3.5 GPa or less and a difference in nano-hardness between the structure composed of bainite and/or tempered martensite and martensite being 2.5 GPa or less.
