Abstract
The present invention relates to steel sheet realizing both formability and weldability. The steel sheet of the present invention is characterized in that at a surface layer part of a region down to 30 μm from the surface of the steel sheet in the sheet thickness direction, Al oxide grains are present in 3000 to 6000/mm2 in number density, the natural logarithms of the particle sizes of the Al oxide grains measured in μm units are on the average −5.0 to −3.5, the standard error is 0.6 or less, and the number of Al oxide grains with deviations of the natural logarithms of the particle sizes from the average larger than 2 times the standard error is 5% or less of the total number of Al oxide grains and at a position of ½ of the thickness of the steel sheet, the number density of the Al oxide grains is 1000/mm2 or less.
