Abstract
There is provided a high-strength steel sheet having a tensile strength (TS) of 900 MPa or more and excellent elongation, stretch flangeability, and bendability in a component system in which an expensive alloy element is not intentionally added. A high-strength steel sheet includes a composition including, on a mass % basis, C: 0.15 to 0.40%, Si: 1.0 to 2.0%, Mn: 1.5 to 2.5%, P: 0.020% or less, S: 0.0040% or less, Al: 0.01 to 0.1%, N: 0.01% or less, and Ca: 0.0020% or less, with the balance including Fe and incidental impurities. The high-strength steel sheet has a microstructure including 40% to 70% of a ferrite phase and a bainite phase in total, 20% to 50% of a martensite phase, and 10% to 30% of a retained austenite phase in terms of an area fraction relative to the entire microstructure.
