Microstructural Evolution during Recrystallization of Magnesiun Alloys

Microstructural evolution during recrystallization in hot rolled Aluminum Alloy 1050

The evolution of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for hot-rolled AA1050. Samples prepared from a hot rolled sheet were annealed isothermally for sufficient time to allow complete recrystallization. The spatial orientation variation within the deformed microstructure of nucleation, growth and orientations of recrystallized grains is examined. The microstructural ...

Microstructural Evolution of X45CrNiW189 Valve Steel During Hot Deformation

The hot compression tests were carried on X45CrNiW189 valve steel (X45) in the temperature range of 1000– 1200 °C and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperature softening behavior of this steel. For the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effective strain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. On the basis of experi...

Evidence for Solute Drag during Recrystallization of Aluminum Alloys

Evidence of both solute drag as well as differences in migration mechanisms of certain boundary types has been found for an Al-Zr alloy. In-situ Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) annealing experiments coupled with Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) showed a stark contrast between Zr segregation at small and large scales. Specifically, Zr was found to segregate to, as well as ...

Microstructural evolution during film growth

Atomic-scale control and manipulation of the microstructure of polycrystalline thin films during kinetically limited low-temperature deposition, crucial for a broad range of industrial applications, has been a leading goal of materials science during the past decades. Here, we review the present understanding of film growth processes—nucleation, coalescence, competitive grain growth, and recrys...
