Abstract

Provided is a high-strength steel sheet having a tensile strength of 780 MPa or higher. The high-strength steel sheet has a low yield ratio and excellent ductility (El) and strain hardening exponent (n) and thus has enhanced processability.

Claims (11)

1. A steel sheet comprising:

in weight %, 0.06 to 0.18% of carbon (C), 1.5% or less (excluding 0%) of silicon (Si), 1.7 to 2.5% of manganese (Mn), 0.15% or less (excluding 0%) of molybdenum (Mo), 1.0% or less (excluding 0%) of chromium (Cr), 0.1% or less of phosphorus (P), 0.01% or less of sulfur (S), 1.0% or less (excluding 0%) of aluminum (Al), 0.001 to 0.04% of titanium (Ti), 0.001 to 0.04% of niobium (Nb), 0.01% or less of nitrogen (N), 0.01% or less (excluding 0%) of boron (B), 0.05% or less (excluding 0%) of antimony (Sb), and a remainder of Fe and other inevitable impurities, and

as a microstructure, ferrite having an area fraction of 40% or more and bainite, fresh martensite having an area fraction of 19 to 35%, and retained austenite as a remainder,

wherein a ratio (Mb/Mt) of a total fraction (Mt) of the fresh martensite and a fraction (Mb) of fresh martensite adjacent to the bainite is 60% or more, and a ratio (Ms/Mt) of the total fraction (Mt) of the fresh martensite and a fraction (Ms) of fine fresh martensite having an average particle size of 3 μm or less is 60% or more.

2. The steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein a relationship of C, Si, Al, Mn, Mo and Cr satisfies the following relationship 1,

(Si+Al+C)/(Mn+Mo+Cr)÷0.25  [Relationship 1]

where respective elements indicate a weight content.

3. The steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising: a zinc-based plating layer on at least one surface.

4. The steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising: a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more, wherein a relationship between a strain hardening coefficient (n), a ductility (El), a tensile strength (TS), and a yield ratio (YR) measured in a strain section of 4 to 6% satisfies the following relationship 2,

( n×El×TS )/ YR≥ 5000  [Relationship 2]

where the unit is MPa %.
