Abstract A submicrometer grain 45C steel was fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) by C way at 500oC and was characterized by optical microscope (OM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) technique. The microstructural development and grain refinement of ferrite was investigated. The results show that, at the first pass of ECAP, the original coarse ferrite grains were broke up into the parallel shear bands of elongated dislocation cells and even subgrains with submicrometer size along the shear direction, resulting from bigger shear deformation. Further pressings results in a slight decrease in the size of elongated dislocation cells and subgrains. With ECAP passes increasing, equiaxed ultrafined ferrite grains with high-angle boundaries were achieved by grains sliding and rotation.
