Abstract
A Nb-microalloyed structural steel with ferrite-pearlite microstructure was subjected to cold rolling and intercritical annealing to produce ultra-fine grained dual phase microstructure. Optical and transmission electron microscopy techniques were employed to characterise the microstructure. Initial results showed that the intercritical annealing (at 790°C for 90s) of samples rolled to a true strain of 2.4 resulted in a significant grain refinement from the average initial grain size of 20 μm to 1-2 microns. The microstructure primarily consisted of UFG ferrite matrix with homogeneously distributed islands of plate martensite with volume fraction of 27%. © 2011 Indian Institute of Metals.
