Abstract
A steel sheet excellent in mechanical strength, workability and thermal stability and suited for use as a raw material in such fields of manufacturing automobiles, household electric appliances and machine structures and of constructing buildings, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided.The steel sheet is a hot-rolled steel sheet of carbon steel or low-alloy steel, the main phase of which is ferrite, and is characterized in that the average ferrite crystal grain diameter D (μm) at the depth of ¼ of the sheet thickness from the steel sheet surface satisfies the relations respectively defined by the formulas (1) and (2) given below and the increase rate X (μm/min) in average ferrite crystal grain diameter at 700° C. at the depth of ¼ of the sheet thickness from the steel sheet surface and said average crystal grain diameter D (μm) satisfy the relation defined by the formula (3) given below:1.2≦D≦7 formula (1)D≦2.7+5000/(5+350·C+40·Mn)2 formula (2)D·X≦0.1 formula (3)wherein C and Mn represent the contents (in % by mass) of the respective elements in the steel.
