The result shows that with decreasing prior austenite grain size, both the packet size and block width decrease, while the lath width has virtually no change. Accordingly, both strength and toughness increase, while total elongation decreases. The yield strength has a Hall Petch type relationship with the prior austenite grain size, packet size and block width, and the block width may be regarded as a key factor influencing strength.
