Grain refinement of bulk metals using severe plastic deformation (SPD) is a popular approach to improve both strength and toughness. In this paper, grain refinement of steel processed by warm multiaxial forging (MAF) and its mechanical behavior has been investigated. Coarse-grained, plain low carbon steel was deformed using MAF at 500 degrees C. Microstructural evolution is characterized using electron backscattered diffraction and mechanical behavior has been studied. Fraction of low angle grain boundaries (LAB) is observed to increase with strain up to total engineering strain of 1.3 thereafter it starts decreasing whereas, high angle grain boundaries showed just the opposite trend. It appears that initially grain subdivision takes place with imposition of strain thereby increasing the fraction of LAB. After a critical strain these LAB transforms into the high angle boundaries (HAB). The initial coarser grains of average 30 mu m size subdivided into grains of the size finer than 0.5 mu m. This has been confirmed by TEM micrographs. Improved tensile strengths and hardness values are obtained after warm MAF. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
