Abstract

Provided is a hot rolled steel sheet having a predetermined chemical composition and a microstructure comprising, by area ratio, pearlite: 90 to 100% and pro-eutectoid ferrite: 0 to 10%, wherein the pearlite has an average lamellar spacing of 0.08 to 0.30 μm, and the percentage of cementite in the pearlite having a major axis length of more than 0.3 μm and an aspect ratio of less than 3.0 is less than 15%.
