Abstract

A hot-rolled steel sheet includes a specified chemical composition and includes a steel structure represented by an area ratio of ferrite being 5% to 50%, an area ratio of bainite composed of an aggregate of bainitic ferrite whose grain average misorientation is 0.4° to 3° being 50% to 90%, and a total area ratio of martensite, pearlite, and retained austenite being 5% or less.

Cu: 0.02% to 1.2%, and

Ni: 0.01% to 0.6%.

3. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical composition satisfies one or more selected from the group consisting of, in mass %,

Ca: 0.0005% to 0.005% and

REM: 0.0005% to 0.02%.

4. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the chemical composition satisfies one or more selected from the group consisting of, in mass %,
