Abstract

A high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet has a composition and a microstructure. The microstructure comprises: ferrite having an average grain size of 5 μm or less and a volume fraction of 3% to 20%, retained austenite having a volume fraction of 5% to 20%, and martensite having a volume fraction of 5% to 20%, the remainder being bainite and/or tempered martensite. The total number of retained austenite with a grain size of 2 μm or less, martensite with a grain size of 2 μm or less, or a mixed phase thereof is 150 or more per 2,000 μm2 of a thickness cross section parallel to the rolling direction of the steel sheet.
