Abstract
The decomposition of austenite in the hypereutectoid Fe-5.5% Cu alloy has been considered as a complex process that includes the precipitation of ε-phase particles and a eutectoid transformation, during which particles of a granular pearlite are nucleated. The theory of the growth of particles has been considered, and the kinetic equations for each stage of the austenite transformation have been introduced.
