and intercritical annealing of a ferrite-martensite duplex starting structure. The effects of Nb
contents (0.00, 0.06, 0.12 and 0.18 wt%) on microstructure and texture evolutions were
studied. Addition of Nb promoted formation of ultra-fine grained structures with the ferrite
grain size of about∼ 1 μm and uniformly-dispersed martensite particles. The results showed
increasing the fraction of the high angle grain boundaries and formation of {111} fiber …
