Abstract
Ups and downs having a cycle of not more than 5 &mgr;m and an amplitude of not less than 200 nm are formed in a part of not less than 70% per unit length of a prior-austenite grain boundary which is observed in a linear form when seen from a vertical plane by a series of steps of subjecting a steel in a state of austenite to a deformation in not less than 30% of a total area reduction rate at a temperature region which is lower than recrystallization temperature of austenite, and subsequently cooling a deformed steel without causing neither recrystallization nor phase transformation of a diffusion type.
