Abstract
This hot-rolled steel sheet has a predetermined chemical composition, in a microstructure at a ¼ position of a sheet thickness in a sheet thickness direction from a surface, by area ratios, a primary phase is 95.00% to 98.00% of bainite, a secondary phase is 2.00% to 5.00% of tempered martensite, an average grain size of the secondary phase is 1.5 μm or less, a pole density in a (110)<112> orientation is 3.0 or less, an average grain size of an iron-based carbide is 0.100 μm or less, in a microstructure from the surface to a 1/16 position of the sheet thickness in the sheet thickness direction from the surface, a pole density in a (110)<1-11> orientation is 3.0 or less, and a tensile, strength TS is 980 MPa or more.
