Abstract
In a hot-rolled steel sheet, a microstructure contains, in area ratio, at a location at ¼ a sheet thickness, a total amount of 90% or more of one or more of martensite and tempered martensite and a total amount of 10% or less of one or more of ferrite, bainite, and pearlite, at a location of 200 μm from the surface, a total amount of 70% or more and less than 90% of one or more of martensite and tempered martensite and a total amount of more than 10% and 30% or less of one or more of ferrite, bainite, and pearlite.
