The specimens taken from the weld deposit were austenitized and isothermally reacted for varying times. The length, width, and thickness of ferrite plates were measured from 3D-reconstructed images. From the length-to-width ratio, the morphology of ferrite is likely to be a lath rather than a plate in this alloy. Multivariant ferrite plates (or laths) were observed to be nucleated at inclusions and grow in the directions close to h110i with habit planes near {111} , probably keeping a fixed orientation relationship with austenite. g g D 2004 Elsevier Inc.
