Effect of the combined addition of molybdenum (Mo) and boron (B) on austenite (γ) to ferrite (α) transformation and precipitation behavior were investigated using low-alloy steels. B-added steel and Mo-B combined steel were held at 923 K (γ region) in order to precipitate boride. B content as precipitates increased and γ to α transformation was promoted with holding time at 923 K. In B-added steel, both M
23(C,B)
6 and M
2B were observed. The transition from M
23(C,B)
6 to M
2B caused by the increase in holding time at 923 K. By contrast, in Mo-B combined steel, no M
2B was observed regardless of the holding time. Mo addition suppresses not only the M
23(C,B)
6 formation but also the M
2B formation. M
2B contains larger amounts of B than M
23(C,B)
6. B content as precipitates in Mo-B combined steel was much lower than that in B-added steel due to the suppression of M
2B precipitates. The effect of Mo for B containing steel suppresses the precipitation of M
23(C,B)
6 and M
2B and increases more segregated B in austenite grain boundary that contributes to γ to α transformation.
