A novel multi-stage heat treatment strategy was developed, consisting of a high-temperature short-duration step and a low-temperature long-duration step, designed to induce nano-martensitic behavior and achieve an optimal strength−ductility balance. Room-temperature tensile stress−strain curves demonstrate that the multi-stage heat-treated alloy exhibits an exceptional synergy between strength and ductility. This improvement arises from the combined effect of recrystallized equiaxed α grains formed during high-temperature step and dispersed nanoparticles generated by the controlled decomposition of nano-martensite (α′) during the low-temperature step. Furthermore, crystallographic analysis based on the Burgers orientation relationship (BOR) reveals variant selection phenomena during the β→α' phase transformation.
