  • Publication number: 20260022442
    Abstract: This hot-rolled steel sheet has a desired chemical composition and microstructure, an average sphere equivalent radius of alloy carbides in the ferrite is 0.5 nm or more and less than 10.0 nm, an average number density of the alloy carbides in the ferrite is 0.10×1016 pieces/cm3 or more and less than 1.45×1016 pieces/cm3, an E value that indicates periodicity of the microstructure is 10.7 or more, and an I value that indicates uniformity of the microstructure is 1.020 or more, and a standard deviation of Mn concentration is 0.60 mass % or less.
