he organization has a small amount of lath martensite with both ends of a square
in addition to a mass of acicular martensite with both ends of sharp-angled y mostly with grain boundary angle in 60°
and its substructure appears a large number of twin
accompanied by microalloyed precipitates ; the microalloyed precipitates are mainly round or oval small size NbC. And a small amount of square and circular larger size (Ti
Nb) (C
N) precipitates
the greater size
the more obvious square characteristics
and the niobium content of precipitate phase reduces
