Abstract

To provide a high-strength steel sheet with excellent ductility and hole expansion formability, a yield ratio of less than 68%, and a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, by having a predetermined chemical composition and a microstructure where ferrite is 15% or more and 55% or less and martensite is 15% or more and 30% or less in area ratio, retained austenite is 12% or more in volume fraction, the average grain size of ferrite, martensite and retained austenite is 4.0 μm or less, 2.0 μm or less and 2.0 μm or less respectively, the average aspect ratio of crystal grain of ferrite, martensite and retained austenite is each more than 2.0 and 15.0 or less, and the value obtained by dividing the Mn content (mass %) in retained austenite by the Mn content (mass %) in ferrite is 2.0 or more.
