Abstract

A steel sheet includes a predetermined chemical composition and a metal structure represented by, in area fraction, ferrite: 30% to 50%, granular bainite: 5% to 20%, martensite: 30% to 55%, bainite: less than 35%, and retained austenite and pearlite: 10% or less in total. Preferably, of the steel sheet, a tensile strength is 1180 MPa or more, elongation is 10% or more, and a hole expansion value is 20% or more. Further preferably, a VDA bending angle in the case where a thickness is set to t (mm) is “7.69t 2 −38.4t+109” or more.
