Abstract

The present invention is the thin steel sheet containing C, Si, Mn, P, S, Al, Mo, Ti, B, and N wherein a value Z calculated by the equation described below is 2.0-6.0, an area ratio against all the structure is 1% or above for retained austenite and 80% or above for total of bainitic ferrite and martensite, a mean axis ratio of the retained austenite crystal grain is 5 or above, and tensile strength is 980 MPa or above whereValue Z=9×[C]+[Mn]+3×[Mo]+490×[B]+7×[Mo]/{100×([B]+0.001),andthe thin steel sheet has 980 MPa or above tensile strength and enhanced hydrogen embrittlement resistance properties.
