The results indicate that during isothermal spheroidizing, the fine grained cementite particles and ferrite are obtained by addition of Al. Ultrafine (α+θ) microduplex microstructures can be formed by warm deformation in a very short time. During warm deformation, the diffusion of carbon and iron atoms are impeded with the addition of Al, the spheroidization of lamellar cementite and the coarsening of cementite particles are retarded. And the re precipitation of cementite particles in ferrite matrix is also restricted, resulting in a more ultrafine (α+θ) microduplex microstructure.
