Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to steel suitable as a material for automobiles and, specifically, to a high-strength steel sheet having excellent hole expandability and ductility, and a manufacturing method therefor. The high-strength steel sheet of the present invention has a microstructure comprising a hard phase and a soft phase, wherein a martensite phase, which is the hard phase, is evenly distributed in a recrystallized ferrite matrix through optimized cold-rolling and annealing processes, and a nonequilibrium ferrite phase is introduced at the interface between the hard phase and the soft phase so as to increase the crack resistance during processing.
