Ultrafine micro-duplex structure (ferrite (alpha)+ cementite (theta)) formed in a pearlitic Fe-0.8C steel after four passes of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 923 K via route Bc. Subsequently the surface of the ultra-micro-duplex structure was treated by multiple laser shock processing (LSP) impacts with different laser pulse energies. The microstructure was obviously refined due to the ultra-high plastic strain induced by LSP. The lattice parameter of alpha-Fe increased with the laser pulse energy, indicating that the cementite dissolution was enhanced. In addition, residual stress and microhardness increased with the LSP pulse energy. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
