Abstract

A steel sheet having a specified chemical composition and a method for producing the steel sheet. The steel sheet has a microstructure including martensite and bainite. The total area fraction of the martensite and the bainite to the entirety of the microstructure is more than 90% and 100% or less. The microstructure includes inclusion clusters A and B, the content of the clusters A in the microstructure being 2 clusters/mm2 or less, and the content of the clusters B in the microstructure being 5 clusters/mm2 or less. The microstructure includes carbide particles including Fe as a main constituent which have an aspect ratio of 2.0 or less and a major axis of 0.30 μm or more and 2 μm or less. The content of the carbide particles in the microstructure is 4000 particles/mm2 or less. The microstructure includes prior γ grains having an average size of 6 to 15 μm.
