Isothermal heat-treatment was conducted to study the microstructures of intragranular ferrite nucleated on non-metallic inclusions in a low carbon steel. The dominant transformed products were grain boundary ferrite, intragranular polygonal ferrite, acicular ferrite and bainite in turn from high to...
