Abstract  Ultrafine ferrite grains with size about several hundred nanometers were obtained through tempering the cold rolled martensite in a low carbon and in a microalloyed steel bearing Nb, V and Ti. In this paper, the mechanism for the formation of the ultrafine grained microstructure was discussed. Dislocation cell structures formed in martensite during cold rolling were developed into ultrafine ferrite grains with sharp and large misoriented boundaries during tempering at temperatures from 500℃ to 600℃ for 60 minutes. During the tempering process, microalloying precipitates formed and effectively pinned the dislocation movement and the migration of the grain boundaries. As a result, the thermal stability of the ultrafine grained microstructure is improved.
Key words:  ultrafine grains      cold rolled martensite      tempering      microalloyed steel      precipitation
