球状化焼鈍前の組織のbcc-Fe結晶粒径を小さく、例えば15μm以下にするためには、仕上げ圧延温度を適切に制御することが好ましい。仕上げ圧延温度が1050℃を超えると、bcc-Fe結晶粒径を小さくすることが困難となる。但し、仕上げ圧延温度が800℃未満となると、bcc-Fe結晶粒径が小さくなり過ぎ、例えば5μm未満となって軟質化が困難となるので、800℃以上とすることが好ましい。仕上げ圧延温度のより好ましい下限は850℃であり、更に好ましくは900℃以上である。仕上げ圧延温度のより好ましい上限は1000℃であり、更に好ましくは950℃である。
第1冷却は、仕上げ圧延温度である800℃以上、1050℃以下から開始し、700~750℃の温度範囲で終了する。この第1冷却において、冷却速度が遅くなると球状化焼鈍前の組織のbcc-Fe結晶粒が粗大化してbcc-Fe結晶粒径が大きくなるおそれがある。そこで、第1冷却における平均冷却速度を7℃/秒以上とすることが好ましい。第1冷却の平均冷却速度はより好ましくは10℃/秒以上であり、更に好ましくは20℃/秒以上である。第1冷却の平均冷却速度の上限は特に限定されないが、現実的な範囲として200℃/秒以下であることが好ましい。尚、第1冷却における冷却では、平均冷却速度が7℃/秒以上である限り、冷却速度を変化させて冷却しても良い。

第3冷却は、600~650℃の温度範囲から開始し、400℃以下で終了する。この第3冷却では、パーライトの平均ラメラー間隔をできるだけ狭くし、セメンタイトを溶解させやすくし、粒内に球状セメンタイトの核を残さないようにする。これによって、その後の適切な球状化焼鈍処理を行うことで、粒界セメンタイト割合を増加させる。パーライトの平均ラメラー間隔を狭く、例えば0.20μm以下とするためには、第3冷却において、第2冷却よりも速く、且つ5℃/秒以上の平均冷却速度で冷却することが好ましい。5℃/秒より遅い冷却であるとパーライトの平均ラメラー間隔を狭くしにくくなる。第3冷却の平均冷却速度はより好ましくは10℃/秒以上であり、更に好ましくは20℃/秒以上である。

粒界セメンタイト割合の測定においては、5分以上のピクラールエッチングによってフェライト粒界およびセメンタイトを出現させ、光学顕微鏡にて組織観察を行い、倍率1000倍にて3視野を撮影した。それらの写真上に、等間隔の10本の横線を引き、その線上に存在する粒界セメンタイト数および粒内セメンタイト数を測定する。3視野内に存在する粒界セメンタイト数を、同視野内に存在する全セメンタイト数で除すことにより、粒界セメンタイト割合を算出した。測定するセメンタイトの最小の円相当直径は0.3μmとした。ここで、フェライト粒界に接しており、且つセメンタイト粒子のアスペクト比が3.0以下のものを、粒界セメンタイトと定義した。よって、フェライト粒界に接していても、セメンタイト粒子のアスペクト比が3.0を超えているものは、粒内セメンタイトとした。
