Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1642988A1] A multi-directional warm-rolling method for manufacturing an ultrafine grain steel material with an ultrafine grain structure of 3 µm or smaller in average grain size. When rolling of two passes or more is performed for a steel material in the rolling temperature range of 350 to 800°C, a rolling by an oval shape caliber and a rolling by the other shape caliber are performed at least one time so that a large amount of strain can be introduced into the material by a simple means with less section reduction ratio and less number of passes. Steel materials having the ultrafine grain structure and excellent strength and ductility can be manufactured by this method.
