Abstract

A low specific gravity and high strength steel sheet includes C of 0.2% to 0.8%, Mn of 2% to 10%, P of 0.02% or less, S of 0.015% or less, Al of 3% to 15%, and N of 0.01% or less. A ratio of Mn/Al is 0.4 to 1.0. Retained austenite in a structure is included in the range of 1% or more. The steel sheet further includes one or two or more elements selected from the group consisting of Si of 0.1% to 2.0%, Cr of 0.1% to 0.3%, Mo of 0.05% to 0.5%, Ni of 0.1% to 2.0%, Cu of 0.1% to 1.0%, B of 0.0005% to 0.003%, Ti of 0.01% to 0.2%, Zr of 0.005% to 0.2%, Nb of 0.005% to 0.2%, W of 0.1% to 1.0%, Sb of 0.005% to 0.2%, and Ca of 0.001% to 0.2%.
