Provided is a high-carbon hot-rolled steel sheet, the material of which is steel to which B has been added, which exhibits consistently excellent hardenability even when annealing is conducted in a nitrogen atmosphere, and which has excellent workability, such that prior to the hardening process, total elongation E1 at an HRB of 65 or less is 40% or greater. The high-carbon hot-rolled steel sheet contains, expressed in mass%, C: 0.20%-0.48%, Si: 0.10% or less, Mn: 0.50% or less, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.010% or less, sol. Al: 0.10% or less, N: 0.0050% or less, and B: 0.0005%-0.0050%, and further contains a total of 0.002%-0.030% of one or more of the elements Sb, Sn, Bi, Ge, Te, and Se, and has a microstructure comprising ferrite and cementite, in which the cementite density within the ferrite grains is 0.10/μm2 or fewer. |
