Abstract

A steel sheet according to an aspect of the present invention includes a predetermined chemical composition; in which a metallographic structure in a ¼ t portion contains residual austenite of 4 volume % to 70 volume %; [Mn] γ /[Mn] ave >1.5 is satisfied in the ¼ t portion; f γs /f γ ≤0.30 and [C]×[Mn]≥0.15 are satisfied in the ¼ t portion.
