Abstract The microstructure of Cr_(25)Ni_(20) stainless steel under plastic deformation up to 50%has revealed an even distributed twins, microtwins and shear band. The σ-phase formation in800℃ aged specimens is accelerated by its nucleation on either deformed twins or recrystallizedgrain boundaries under less or more deformation respectively. In the recrystallization zone, the rec-rystallization is prior to the precipitation of σ-phase. Although the recrystallization may acceler-ate the formation of σ-phase, yet it is not essential. The twins and microtwins, produced by de-formation, may also provide the additional nucleation sites.
