The heating rate plays an important role of grain refinement. A high heating rate suppresses solid–solid phase transformations. The superheated γ grains serve as heterogeneous nuclei for β grains on subsequent solidification and refine the lamellar colonies. At low heating rate, diffusion-based transformations are observed on heating and coarse lamellae are formed after welding. The refined lamellar colonies improve the mechanical properties.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intermet.2015.03.003} (DOI).
