Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a hot-rolled steel sheet that has a thickness of 3 to 20 mm and includes, in a chemical composition in mass percent, C of 0.3% or less (excluding 0%), Si of 0.5% or less (excluding 0%), Mn of 0.2% to 1%, P of 0.05% or less (excluding 0%), S of 0.05% or less (excluding 0%), Al of 0.01% to 0.1%, and N of 0.008% to 0.025%, with the remainder consisting of iron and inevitable impurities. A solute nitrogen content is 0.007% or more, and the carbon and nitrogen contents meet a condition as specified by 10C+N 3.0. The microstructure of the steel sheet includes pearlite of less than 20% in area percentage, with the remainder approximately consisting of ferrite. The average grain size of the ferrite is 3 to 35 μm. The steel sheet has good cold formability during forming and still has predetermined surface hardness after forming.
