Abstract
The exact theory of the rate of growth of spherical precipitate particles has previously been developed for the initial stage where the individual precipitate particles do not interfere with one another. In the present paper this theory is carried one stage further to include their mutual interference. It is found that in the particular case of a very dilute solution this interference may be accounted for in a relatively simple manner. The applicability of the theory has been tested by new observations upon the precipitation of carbon from α‐iron. Good agreement is found up to 95 percent completion of precipitation.Keywords
