![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: The formation mechanisms of interlocked microstructures in low-carbon high-strength steel weld metals The formation mechanisms of interlocked microstructures in low-carbon high-strength steel weld metals](/preview/png/1571488.png)
Microstructural features and the formation mechanisms of interlocked microstructures of acicular ferrite in a low-carbon high-strength steel weld metal were investigated by means of computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction technique and electron backscattered diffraction analysis. Multiple nucleation on inclusions, sympathetic nucleation or repeated nucleation, hard impingement, mutual intersection, and fixed orientation relationships of acicular ferrite grains were observed. They were all responsible for the formation of interlocked microstructures in the weld metal. During the process of isothermal transformation, the pre-formed acicular ferrite laths or plates partitioned austenite grains into many small and separate regions, and the growth of later formed acicular ferrite grains was confined in these small regions. Thus, the crystallographic grain size became smaller with the increasing holding time.

► Acicular ferrite is formed by multiple nucleation and sympathetic nucleation.
► Hard impingement and intersection of ferrite grains occur at later stages.
► The pre-formed ferrite laths partition austenite grains into smaller regions.
► The growth of later formed ferrite grains is confined in the smaller regions.
