Abstract

A hot-rolled steel sheet includes a chemical composition represented by, in mass %, C: 0.010% to 0.100%, Si: 0.30% or less, Cr: 0.05% to 1.00%, Nb: 0.003% to 0.050%, Ti: 0.003% to 0.200% and others, wherein a proportion of grains having an intragranular misorientation of 5° to 14° in all grains is 20% or more by area ratio, the grain being defined as an area which is surrounded by a boundary having a misorientation of 15° or more and has a circle-equivalent diameter of 0.3 μm or more.

wherein [Si], [Cr], and [Mn] in the Expression 1 and Expression 2 each represent a content, in mass %, of each of the elements, respectively, and

wherein a proportion of grains having an intragranular misorientation of 5° to 14° in all grains is 20% or more by area ratio, wherein each grain is defined as an area which is surrounded by a boundary having a misorientation of 15° or more, and wherein each grain has a circle-equivalent diameter of 0.3 μm or more,

the hot-rolled steel sheet comprising a microstructure represented by

a volume ratio of cementite: 1.0% or less,

an average grain diameter of cementite; 2.00 μm or less,

a concentration of Cr contained in cementite; 0.5 mass % to 40.0 mass %,

a proportion of cementite having a grain diameter of 0.5 μm or less and an aspect ratio of 5 or less in all cementite: 60 vol % or more,

an average grain diameter of a composite carbide of Ti and Cr: 10.0 nm or less, and

a number density of the composite carbide of Ti and Cr: 1.0×10 13 /mm 3 or more.

2. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein, in the chemical composition represented by, in mass %,

any combination thereof is satisfied.

3. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein, in the chemical composition represented by, in mass %,

Ca: 0.0005% to 0.0050%, or

REM: 0.0005% to 0.0200%, or

a combination thereof is satisfied.

4. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein, in the chemical composition represented by, in mass %, 13: 0.0002% to 0.0020% is satisfied.

5. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , comprising a galvanized film on a surface.
