Abstract
A high-strength steel sheet is disclosed having a specified chemical composition and a steel microstructure composed of, on an area fraction basis, ferrite: 1% to 40%, fresh martensite: less than 1.0%, bainite and tempered martensite in total: 40% to 90%, and retained austenite: 6% or more, wherein a value obtained by dividing an average Mn content (% by mass) of the retained austenite by an average Mn content (% by mass) of the ferrite is 1.1 or more, and a value obtained by dividing an average C content (% by mass) of retained austenite with an aspect ratio of 2.0 or more by an average C content (% by mass) of the ferrite is 3.0 or more, and a diffusible hydrogen content of steel is 0.3 ppm by mass or less.
