Provided are a thin high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet having small in-plane anisotropies and a method for producing the thin high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet. A steel having a composition containing, by mass, C: more than 0.20% and 0.45% or less, Si: 0.50% to 2.50%, Mn: 2.00% or more and less than 3.50%, and one or two elements selected from Ti: 0.005% to 0.100% and Nb: 0.005% to 0.100% is hot-rolled and subsequently cold-rolled at a rolling reduction of 30% or more. The resulting thin cold-rolled steel sheet is heated to 800°C to 950°C and subsequently cooled to a cooling-end temperature of 350°C to 500°C at a cooling rate of 5 °C/s or more to form a steel sheet having a microstructure including a martensite phase and a bainite phase such that the total proportion of the martensite phase and the bainite phase is 80% or more by volume. The steel sheet is heated to 700°C to 840°C and maintained at 700°C to 840°C, subsequently cooled to a cooling-end temperature of 350°C to 500°C at a cooling rate of 5 to 50 °C/s, and maintained within the above temperature range for 10 to 1800 s. This enables a microstructure including, by volume, 15% or more and 70% or less ferrite phase, more than 15% and 40% or less retained austenite phase, and 30% or less martensite phase to be formed. Furthermore, a retained austenite phase constituted by acicular and fine crystal grains having an average diameter of 2.0 µm or less and an aspect ratio of 2.0 or more can be formed. As a result, the thin high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet has excellent production consistency, a TS of 980 MPa or more, high ductility, and small in-plane anisotropies.

Disclosed is a high-strength steel sheet having a tensile strength (TS) of 780 MPa or more and excellent in ductility, stretch flangeability, surface characteristics, and stability as a material that can be obtained by providing a predetermined chemical composition and a steel microstructure that contains, by area, 25-80 % of ferrite and bainitic ferrite in total, and 3-20 % of martensite, and that contains, by volume, 10 % or more of retained austenite, in which the retained austenite has a mean grain size of 2 µm or less, a mean Mn content in the retained austenite in mass% is at least 1.2 times the Mn content in the steel sheet in mass%, an area ratio of retained austenite having a mean C content in mass% at least 2.1 times the C content in the steel sheet in mass% is 60 % or more of an area ratio of the entire retained austenite.

Disclosed is a high-strength steel sheet having a tensile strength (TS) of 780 MPa or more and excellent in ductility, stretch flangeability, and stability as a material that can be obtained by providing a predetermined chemical composition, satisfying the condition that Mn content divided by B content equals 2100 or less, and providing a steel microstructure that contains, by area, 25-80 % of ferrite and bainitic ferrite in total, 3-20 % of martensite, and that contains, by volume, 10 % or more of retained austenite, in which the retained austenite has a mean grain size of 2 µm or less, a mean Mn content in the retained austenite in mass% is at least 1.2 times the Mn content in the steel sheet in mass%, and an aggregate of retained austenite formed by seven or more identically-oriented retained austenite grains accounts for 60 % or more by area of the entire retained austenite.
