Abstract
A high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet according to the present invention has a specific chemical composition and a steel microstructure including, as main phases, 80% to 100% of martensite and bainite in terms of total area fraction. An entire area fraction of the martensite dispersed in the bainite is 2% to 20%. Among the martensite dispersed in the bainite, an area fraction of martensite each having an orientation difference of less than 15° between a crystal orientation of the martensite and a crystal orientation of at least one of bainite adjacent to the martensite is 50% or more relative to the whole martensite dispersed in the bainite.
