Optical microscope and TEM were applied to analyze the microstructure after RPC （Relaxation-precipitation-controlling phase transformation technique） and the evolution of dislocation configuration. The particle tracking autoradiography （PTA） technique, revealing the distribution of boron, was employed to show the change of boron segregation after different relaxation times. The results indicate that during the relaxation stage the recovery occurs in the deformed austenite, the dislocations rearrange and subgrains form.
