It is found that Received in revised form the formed precipitates during both tempering and reheating-quenching processes are TiCs. The size of 29 September 2011 them mainly ranges from 1 to 18 nm and 1 to 36 nm, respectively. And tempering treatment especially Accepted 1 October 2011 Available online 18 October 2011 promotes a peak of TiC in diameter from 1 to 5 nm, but it also boosts parts of precipitates nucleating along the grain boundaries. The precipitation of TiC is useful for the refinement of austenite grains and this effect depends on the reheating temperature. The mean grain size can be refined to 7.8 m when the reheating Keywords: TiC precipitation
