Abstract

A steel sheet includes: a predetermined chemical composition; and a steel structure containing, in are a fraction, 2% or more of ferrite and bainite, in which an average dislocation density in the ferrite and an average dislocation density in the bainite are both h3×10 12 m/m 3 to 1×10 14 m/m 3 , and an average grain diameter of the ferrite and the bainite is 5 μm or less.
