A new micromechanical modelling is proposed to correlate some microstructural parametersand dissipation in ferritic steels under cyclic loading. We assumed the occurrence of twodissipative mechanisms associated with anelastic and inelastic deformations, respectively.We showed that the modelling provides good qualitative prediction of the heating curveswhen changing the volume fraction of precipitates in ferritic steels. We highlighted thekey role of the dispersion of the grain size on the local and global dissipation.
