The cold-rolled steel sheet of the present invention has a specified
chemical composition. The
microstructure at a position (t / 4 portion) on the thickness direction, at a distance of 1 / 4 of the sheet thickness t from the surface, contains, by
volume percentage, 2.0% to 8.0% retained
austenite, 80.0% to 98.0% tempered
martensite, 0.0% to 15.0% ferrite and
bainite combined, and 0.0% to 5.0%
martensite. This composition is present at both the central portion and at a distance of 50 mm from the end in the width direction. In which part of the edge, the
metal microstructure at a position 20 μm from the surface in the thickness direction of the plate (i.e., the 20 μm portion) contains, by
volume percentage, 75.0% or more and 100.0% or less of ferrite and
bainite, and 0.0% or more and 25.0% or less of
martensite and tempered martensite. Furthermore, the
metal microstructure at a position 75 μm from the surface in the thickness direction of the plate (i.e., the 75 μm portion) contains, by
volume percentage, 0.0% or more and 15.0% or less of ferrite and
bainite.
