Abstract

What is claimed is a steel sheet having a predetermined chemical composition, in which a microstructure includes, by area ratio, ferrite: 5.0% or less, martensite and tempered martensite: more than 90.0% in total, and a remainder: one or two or more of bainite, pearlite, and residual austenite, when an interface where an orientation difference between adjacent martensite and tempered martensite is 15 degrees or more is defined as a prior austenite grain boundary, grain boundary binding energy E GB determined by a concentration of each alloying element on the prior austenite grain boundary is 0.50 or more, and a tensile strength is 1,500 MPa or more.
