The influence of deformation and cooling parameters after transition through semi-solid state on structure development of ledeburite steel

► The formability of austenitic structure with carbide network was analyzed. ► The influence of deformation and cooling rate after transition trough semi-solid state was analyzed for X210Cr12 steel. ► Recrystalyzed microstructures with over 90% of austenite were created on ledeburitic steel. ► Cooling rate influenced the morphology of network among globular austenite grains.
