A series of tests of deformation-induced ferrite transformation ( DIFT) in a low carbon steel were carried out by the Gleeble-3500 hot simulation machine at a temperature range of Ae 3 -Ar 3 . The overall stress-strain curves during DIFT can be divided into three typical types: "double-humped","single-humped"and "transitional". The peaks exhibited in the curve are involved with deformation-induced transformation which happened in grains or at the grain boundaries. According to the stress-time curve and strain-time curve,strain capacity dramatically postponed the strain-induced transformation,which leads to the start of the transformation right ahead of the finish of deformation and the majority of the ferrite transformation process mainly happened after the deformation. Deformation-induced transformation is a metadynamic transformation process with dynamic nucleation.
