Different chemo-dynamical models dealing with the formation of stellar disks in the course of galaxy evolution are presented. One-dimensional models concerning the vertical stratification of disks are in strikingly good agreement with the solar vicinity. Two-dimensional investigations of the global evolution of disk galaxies show from preliminary results that the disk formation is delayed by means of an equatorial outflow of hot metal-enriched gas that stems from supernova ejecta in the star-forming central region.
