Abstract Progress in theory and experiment on the early stage of decomposition of alloys is reviewed. In the first half of this paper, theoretical treatments on decomposition of alloys by spinodal and nucleation mechanism and also continuum theories and the discrete lattice theories are comparatively reviewed. In the latter half of this paper, experimental results on Al-Zn, Ni-Al, Cu-Co and Al-Ag alloys are discussed.
