**7. Conclusions**

The effect of ultrafast heating on different classes of steel, specifically on medium/low-C, NGO, and stainless steels, was analyzed in this paper with respect to the main metallurgical aspects: phase transformation, recrystallization, mechanical properties, and textural evolution. In particular, the variation trend with heating rate was highlighted, focusing on the main metallurgical properties (phase transformation, recrystallization, and textural evolution) for different classes of materials.

The conclusions can be summarized in the following points:


lization temperatures were also shifted towards higher values in both carbon and stainless steels.
