The occurrence of abnormal grain growth of austenite during heating process in steels is a serious problem because the mechanical properties of steels are degraded due to duplex distribution or extremely coarse austenite grain structures caused by the abnormal grain growth. In the authors’ recent work, it was found that the grain-coarsening temperature, Tc, (the temperature above which abnormal grain growth occurs) is much lower in a ferrite/pearlite (F/P) banded 0.2 pct carbon steel than in a non-banded steel although annealing at high temperatures is needed to eliminate the F/P banded structure. Instead, in this study we focus on the effects of cold deformation on the abnormal grain growth of austenite. Here it is shown that the abnormal grain growth that
