Dual phase (DP) steels with different amounts of Nb were produced by utilizing cold rolling and intercritical annealing of a ferrite-martensite duplex starting structure. The effects of Nb contents (0.00, 0.06, 0.12 and 0.18 wt%) on microstructure and texture evolutions were studied. Addition of Nb promoted formation of ultra-fine grained structures with the ferrite grain size of about ~1 mm and uniformlydispersed martensite particles. The results showed increasing the fraction of the high angle grain boundaries and formation of {111} fiber components in the microstructures with increasing Nb content. In addition, the texture power was decreased with the addition of Nb, resulting in random texture components
