Abstract
A steel sheet having a specified chemical composition and a tensile strength of 1,320 MPa or more, and methods for producing the steel sheet. The steel sheet has a specified microstructure including martensite and bainite, the total area fraction of the martensite and the bainite being 92% or more and 100% or less, the balance being one or more selected from ferrite and retained austenite. The forumulae [%Ti]+[%Nb]>0.007 and [%Ti]×[%Nb]2≤7.5×10−6 are satisfied in the chemical composition.
