Mixed Ferrite-Martensite (F-M) structures have been produced from a hot rolled Ferrite-Pearlite steel by combination of reheating-quenching cycles for grain refinement followed by intercritical annealing in the range 720 °C to 815 °C. The final microstructures have been characterised by optical microscopy, revealing M contents ranging from 2 to 16%, mean Ferrite grain sizes (FGS) from 9 to 22 microns and Martensite equivalent mean diameters dM from 0.6 to 2.9 microns. Tensile testing on cylindrical specimens at quasi-static conditions and strain rates up to five orders higher have been performed for both quantification of stress sensitivity to strain rate and validation of the simulations. The simplest empirical models for engineering tensile parameters obtained from the experiments show that strength Rm, strain to fracture and toughness have sensitivity to dM almost one order of magnitude higher than to FGS. The Rm sensitivity to percentage M-content is about half of its value to dM in microns. The higher strength to yield stress ratios correspond to the smallest structural sizes and to lowest M-contents. Two
