                                              ABSTRACT

        This work presents a study of the ultrafine ferritic grain through thermomechanical treatment of
a 0.16C steel in the subcritical range. By varying the subcritical tempering, the influence of cementite
precipitation on the grain refinement was evaluated. All samples were austenitizing at 1100°C,
quenched on water and tempered under 0.25, 0.5, 1, 12, 24 and 48 hours. The processing routes
based on spheroidization tempering at 700°C (just below Ae1) followed the thermomechanical
treatment through hot torsion. Before carrying out the torsion tests, the specimens were heated up to
700°C again, maintained by 10 minutes. After each a torsion test the samples were air cooled to
environment temperature. The microstructural evolution was observed by optical and scanning
electron microscopy. The high resolution electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) has been used to
analyse the boundary misorientations formed during deformation, determining both high and low angle
boundaries. As a result after performing torsion tests, finer and dispersive carbides could be verified
on samples submitted at lower tempering times. In addition, precipitate size caused little influence on
the ferritic grain refinement. Therefore, the ultrafine grains were sufficiently reached with strains under
the subcritical range. By this test procedure, it was possible to obtain ferritic grains smaller than 2 μm
for all tempering times.

Key-words: subcritical tempering, ultrafine grain, cementite, hot torsion, EBSD technique.
