The evolutions of submicron sized cellular and columnar dendritic crystal were explained as well as the phase transformation process including lath martensite with a twin substructure and the carbon-rich residual austenite (RA) films were revealed. Two nano carbides, MC (rich in V and Mo) as well as M<sub>23</sub>C<sub>6</sub> (rich in Cr and Mn), with diameters of 10–40 nm, were precipitated due to the intrinsic heat treatment (IHT) in LPBF process. Cr<sub>23</sub>C<sub>6</sub> particles preferentially nucleated at the grain and subgrain boundaries due to the presence of crystalline defects such as dislocations and stacking faults caused by lattice distortion. It then grew by alloying elemental depletion while remaining semi-coherency with the α-Fe matrix. VC particles nucleated in situ within M<sub>23</sub>C<sub>6</sub> as V atoms accumulated and replaced M atoms in the M<sub>23</sub>C<sub>6</sub> lattice. With the growth of VC nuclei, the strain energy caused by local lattice misfit increased.

The as-built H13 steel exhibited excellent hardness and strength compared to wrought H13 steel, which was mainly attributed to dislocation strengthening and grain boundary strengthening, with precipitation strengthening playing a secondary role due to the low amount of nanoprecipitates.

The strain rate hardening effect is associated with the strong dislocation drag resulting from the fast dislocation velocity at high strain rates. Microstructure evolution analyses demonstrate that various deformation mechanisms occur within shear bands under dynamic loading, including the formation of deformation twins, dislocation cells, microbands, amorphous bands, and dynamic recrystallization. The dynamic deformation is influenced by the competition between hardening mechanisms and thermal softening effects.

With the initial microstructure of ferrite and lamellar pearlite, a spherical pearlite and martensitic structure surrounding the ferrite was first obtained by applying the cyclic annealing process near the Ac<sub>1</sub> temperature. Subsequently, the annealed structure was subjected to subcritical quenching heat treatment, thereby establishing a network-like martensite-ferrite dual-phase heterogeneous structure and named N-760 °C and N-780 °C. In comparison with the ferrite-martensite dual-phase steel where ferrite envelopes martensite, N-780 °C witnessed a marked increase in tensile strength and uniform elongation, while the yield ratio dropped by 20 %. Through cyclic loading and unloading tensile tests, it was found that the N-760 °C showed a more obvious heterogeneous deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening effect. The results from electron backscattering and transmission electron microscopy indicate that, in the N-760 °C, a small quantity of dislocations is produced in the ferrite due to the martensitic phase transformation prior to the tensile test. During the tensile process, as the strain increases, the ferrite undergoes significant deformation, and the intragranular dislocations re-arrange to form dislocation cells and deformation-induced grain boundaries (SIBs).
