Abstract

Provided are: a steel sheet having a high strength and excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance; and a method of producing the same. The steel sheet has prescribed chemical composition and structure, in which a standard deviation σ of Mn concentration satisfies σ≥0.15 Mn(wherein, Mnrepresents an average Mn concentration) and a region with a Mn concentration of higher than (Mn+1.3σ) has a circle-equivalent diameter of less than 10.0 μm. The method of producing the steel sheet includes: the hot rolling step that includes finish rolling a slab having a prescribed chemical composition under prescribed conditions; the step of coiling the thus obtained hot-rolled steel sheet at a coiling temperature of 450 to 700° C.; and the step of cold rolling the hot-rolled steel sheet and subsequently annealing this steel sheet at 800 to 900° C.
