Regarding the site at a position 1 mm under the surface layer, the microstructure was identified by using an optical microscope (magnification ratio: 400 times), and the ferrite grain diameter and the size and the number of the hard phase were measured. The microstructure constituting 90% or more of the observation field of view was assumed to be a base phase, and an average particle diameter determined by the above-described method was assumed to be the size of hard phase.
  • a JIS No. 5 test piece was taken on the basis of the stipulation of JIS Z2201, and the tensile test was conducted on the basis of the stipulation of JIS Z2241, so as to determine the tensile properties (yield strength: YS, tensile strength: TS).
  • the present invention is specified to be within the range of a tensile strength (TS) of less than 800 MPa and a yield strength (YS) of less than 600 MPa.
  • test piece was t (sheet thickness) ⁇ 20 ⁇ 75 (mm) and the rubber wheel abrasion test was conducted by using abrasion sand on the basis of the stipulation of ASTM G65. After the test, the amount of abrasion of the test piece was measured.
  • the larger abrasion resistance ratio corresponds to better abrasion property.
  • the range of the present invention is specified to be an abrasion resistance ratio of 4.0 or more.
  • a V notch impact test piece was taken from the position at 1/4 in the plate thickness direction toward an L direction on the basis of the stipulation of JIS Z2202.
  • the Charpy impact test was conducted at a test temperature of 0°C on the basis of the stipulation of JIS Z2242, so as to determine Charpy absorbed energy.
  • the number of test pieces was three, and an average value was determined.
  • Test pieces were taken on the basis of the stipulation of JIS Z2204.
  • the width was 50 mm and in the case where the plate thickness of the test steel was 45 mm or more, the thickness was reduced to 25 mm by cutting from one surface side. In the case where the plate thickness of the test steel was less than 45 mm, the plate thickness was not changed.
  • the bend test was conducted on the basis of the stipulation of JIS Z2248. The bend test was conducted by a pressing bend method at a pressing bend radius r of 1.5t.
  • Table 2 shows the results of the microstructure observation, the tensile test, and the abrasion test.
  • Invention examples (Steel Nos. 1 to 6 and Steel Nos. 8 and 9) are steels having a very excellent abrasion resistant property in spite of the tensile strength (TS) ⁇ 800 MPa and the yield strength (YS) ⁇ 600 MPa.
  • Comparative examples are inferior in the abrasion resistant property to Invention examples, or inferior in the bending formability because YS and TS are high even if the abrasion resistant property is at an equal level.
