Abstract (en)

To provide a high-strength steel sheet with high tensile strength, press formability, and bendability, and a method for manufacturing the high-strength steel sheet.The high-strength steel sheet has a predetermined chemical composition and has a microstructure containing a specific microstructure in a surface layer region extending from a surface of the steel sheet to a position of one-tenth of the thickness of the steel sheet and in an inner region extending from a position of one-tenth to a position of three-tenths of the thickness of the steel sheet. The surface layer region extending from the surface of the steel sheet to the position of one-tenth of the thickness of the steel sheet has an average grain size of 6 pm or less. A difference (HV2 - HV1) between a hardness (HV1) of the surface layer region extending from the surface of the steel sheet to the position of one-tenth of the thickness of the steel sheet and a hardness (HV2) of the inner region extending from the position of one-tenth to the position of three-tenths of the thickness of the steel sheet is 5% or more and 15% or less of [0.3 x tensile strength (MPa)], and the steel sheet has a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, a uniform elongation of 6% or more, and a ratio R/t of a critical bending radius R to a thickness t of 1.5 or less.
