Abstract
A steel sheet and a method for producing the same are disclosed. The steel sheet has a composition containing 0.015% to 0.05% C, less than 0.10% Si, 0.1% to 2.0% Mn, 0.20% or less P, 0.1% or less S, 0.01% to 0.10% Al, 0.005% or less N, and 0.06% to 0.5% Ti in percent by mass, C and Ti satisfying the inequality Ti*/C≧4, where Ti* (mass percent)=Ti−3.4N and Ti, C, and N represent the content (mass percent) of each element. The steel sheet has a microstructure which contains a ferrite phase as a base, in which the average grain diameter of the ferrite phase is 7 μm or more, and in which the ratio of the rolling-direction average grain diameter to thickness-wise average grain diameter of the ferrite phase is 1.1 or more.
