Abstract
This hot-rolled steel sheet has a desired chemical composition, a microstructure contains, in area %, ferrite: 10 to 30%, bainite: 40 to 85%, retained austenite: 5 to 30%, fresh martensite: 5% or less, and pearlite: 5% or less, the ferrite has an average particle size of 5.00 μm or less, a difference between an average nanoindentation hardness of the ferrite and an average nanoindentation hardness of the bainite is 1,000 MPa or less, and the tensile strength is 980 MPa or more.
