Dynamic recrystallization is an important mechanical weakening mechanism during the deformation of ice, yet we currently lack robust quantitative tools for identifying recrystallized grains in “migration” regime that dominates ice at temperatures close to melting point. Here, propose grain boundary irregularity as a means discriminating between (high sphericity, low irregularity) and remnant (l...

Recent work has indicated that iron (oxyhydr-)oxides are capable of structurally incorporating and releasing metals and nutrients as a result of Fe2+-induced iron oxide recrystallization. In the present paper, we briefly review the current literature examining the mechanisms by which iron oxides recrystallize and summarize how recrystallization affects metal incorporation and release. We also p...

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for recrystallization were performed using OIM (Orientation Image Microscopy) data sets to define the initial microstructures. Two types of OIM data sets were used as input to the simulations. One type was measured on a warm-rolled interstitial-free (IF) steel sheet. The results were strongly affected by the assumptions used to estimate the stored energy, which is t...
