In the context of Ti-X alloys, bainite so defined is a non-lamellar dispersion of intermetallic compound particles amongst proeutectoid a. Other, quite different definitions of bainite are also used. 2,3 No confusion should result, however, if one bears in mind that this Communication is solely concerned with the occurrence of two different modes of eutectoid decomposition: the non-lamellar (bainite) and the lamellar (peadite) modes.
