Abstract
In a hot-rolled steel sheet having a predetermined chemical composition and having a metallographic structure including 90 vol % or greater of martensite and 0 vol % to 10 vol % of a residual structure, the residual structure includes one or both of bainite and ferrite, the average prior austenite grain size in an L-section parallel to a rolling direction and an average prior austenite grain size in a C-section parallel to a direction orthogonal to the rolling direction are 1.0 μm to 10.0 μm the aspect ratio associated with the prior austenite grain size is 1.8 or less, the average grain size of the residual structure in the L-section and the average grain size of the residual structure in the C-section are 5.0 μm or less, and the aspect ratio associated with the average grain size of the residual structure is 2.0 or less.
