  We investigate the kinetics of phase transitions for chiral symmetry breaking
in heavy-ion collisions. We use a Langevin description for order-parameter
kinetics in the chiral transition. The Langevin equation of motion includes
{\it dissipation} and an {\it inertial term}. We study the ordering dynamics
subsequent to a quench from the massless quark phase to the massive quark
phase, and discuss the effect of inertia on the growth kinetics.
