It was found that both α2 and γ phases remain highly restrained in the WZ edge, and the stresses are relieved in the HAZ. A grain refinement mechanism is proposed, which works by heating the material to the β or α + β phase field for a short time. The lamellar colonies are refined by the Nb-enriched segregations.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1007/s11661-016-3745-7} (DOI).
