Modelling the relationship between deformed microstructures and static recrystallization textures: Application to ferritic stainless steels

We present an original approach for predicting the static recrystallization texture development during annealing of deformed crystalline materials. The microstructure is considered as a population subgrains and grains whose sizes boundary properties determine their growth rates. model input parameters are measured directly on orientation maps by electron backscattered diffraction. anisotropy in subgrain then drives competitive giving rise to development. method illustrated simulation hot rolled ferritic stainless steel. predictions found be good agreement with experimental measurements, allow in-depth investigation formation sequence texture.
