Abstract
A high strength steel sheet has a yield-point elongation of 1% or greater and a tensile strength of 980 MPa or greater. The high strength steel sheet has a specific chemical composition and microstructure. A ratio of retained austenite grains adjoining a retained austenite grain having a different crystal orientation to total retained austenite grains is 0.60 or greater, the ferrite has an average grain size of 5.0 μm or less, and the retained austenite has an average grain size of 2.0 μm or less. A value obtained by dividing a volume fraction Vγa by a volume fraction Vγb is 0.40 or greater, where the volume fraction Vγa is a volume fraction of retained austenite in a fractured portion of a tensile test specimen after a warm tensile test at 150° C., and the volume fraction Vγb is a volume fraction of retained austenite before the warm tensile test at 150° C.
