Based on the classic diffusion controlled nucleation and goth theory, the sympathatic nucleation- ledgewise growth mechanism of bainite was studied theoretically for low carbon Fe-C alloys. The rationality of the occurrence of sympathetic nucleation on the terraces of ledges compating with lateral ledge growth and other sites nucleation was demonstrated by the present work quantita- tively The calculations indicated that low reaction temperatures and high carbon concentrations may favor the sympathetic nucleation, thus accounting for the formation of multilayer structures of bainite.
