Abstract

A steel sheet according to the present invention has a specific chemical composition and a steel microstructure including, in terms of area fraction, ferrite: 40% or more and 70% or less, a total of bainite and tempered martensite: 5% or more and 30% or less, retained austenite: 4% or more and 18% or less, fresh martensite: 8% or more and 35% or less, and the remainder: 5% or less. Cementite particles are present in the retained austenite, a ratio of an area fraction of the cementite particles in the retained austenite to an area fraction of the retained austenite is 5% or more and 25% or less, and the steel sheet has a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more and less than 980 MPa.
