Abstract
Cellular automata model for bainitic transformation in steels is presented in the paper. Discrete character of the CA method allowed to reproduce formulation of carbides in the bainitic ferrite. Numerical tests have shown that the model predicts qualitatively well physical phenomena occurring during the bainitic transformation. Although the quantitative accuracy concerning morphology of bainite and kinetics of transformation is not satisfactory, the predictive capabilities of the model are much wider comparing to the existing conventional models. It is expected that further research focused on identification of the model parameters should improve the accuracy noticeably.
