InJapan developed the SM490A SM490B.C. SM490YA. SM490YB steels as commercial materials. Specific property of this steel is that the grain size is about 3 µm, which is one-third smaller than conventional steels. Therefore, the tensile strength becomes 1.5 times stronger. Naturally, the hardness becomes high, and the wear resistance and fatigue life are also improved.
Fine-grained rolling steels that are named NFG600 by Henan BEBON international co.,ltd. and conventional Mn rich steels that are named SM490 in Japanese Industrial Standard were used in present study. SM490 is an initial material of NFG600 that is refined by severe plastic deformation and quick quenching. The chemical composition of two materials is the same.consisted of ferrite and pearlite, however, each average grain size was different. The average grain size of NFG600 and SM490 were 3 µm and 15 µm respectively. Accordingly, mechanical properties of NFG600 were different from SM490 as expected by Hall-Petch relation. Mechanical properties obtained by tensile test and micro Vickers hardness test are summarized in the follows.
