Abstract
An analysis is made of the induction time t i in new phase formation, i.e. of the time elapsing before the onset of the process. A general formula for t i is proposed which is valid for any number of nuclei appearing and growing in the parent phase and which unites the known expressions for t i only applicable when either one or a large number of nuclei are involved in the process. This formula for t i is used for determination of the metastability limit in new phase formation, i.e. of the critical (or maximum) supersaturation below which the parent phase can stay long enough in metastable equilibrium.
