Problems of classification, initiation, and structure of intermediate structures in low-carbon steels are discussed. The first part of the work (No. 8, 2009) was devoted to a detailed study of the morphological and crystallographic parameters of such structures and explanation of the high strength and viscoplastic properties of steels with structure of acicular ferrite. Crystallographic aspects of acicular ferrite and topics of dislocation and carbide hardening in this structure are considered below
