Abstract: The segregation behaviour of P and its effect on structure of 70%-reduction cold rolled Fe-P alloys containing different contents of P,e.g.,0.007,0.06 and 0.09% P,during annealing at 200-700℃ under vacuum have been studied by means of metallography and EPMA.The P was found to segregate preferentially along dislocation line during recovery annealing.The P-riched dislocation densing region,the P-depleted region and the sub-grain-like boundary thus formed.The nuclei grow preferentially during recrystallization in such region that the P segregation is more evident and the residual strain by dislocation densing increases to large extent.After recrystallizing,the P segregates along grain boundaries and makes the grains in alloy fine.
