Abstract A wire of a β-Titanium alloy known as Gum Metal was cold rolled to reduction 80% and heat treated for times in the range 3-120 minutes at fixed temperature 740 °C yield set partially recrystallized microstructures. The recrystallization course evaluated by light optical microscopy Electron Backscatter Diffraction, based on which kinetics analysed using Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (J...

Abstract The migration of recrystallization boundaries into spatially varying deformation energy fields are simulated based on a two-dimensional phase-field model. chosen as idealized versions microstructures subdivided by two sets intersecting geometrically necessary dislocation (GNBs), and effects the sharpness GNBs investigated. simulations show that shape recrystallizing grain well kinetics...

High density grain boundaries provide high strength, but may introduce undesirable features, such as high Fermi levels and instability. We investigated the kinetics of recovery and recrystallization of Cu that was manufactured to include both nanotwins (NT) and high-angle columnar boundaries. We used the isothermal Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model to estimate activation energy values...

In the current study, the recrystallization behavior of 75% cold-rolled Fe-22Mn-10Al-1.4C steel during annealing at 750, 770, 790, 810, and 830°C was studied. X-ray diffraction patterns and optical microscopy were used to characterize microstructures. The Vickers Micro-hardness test was used to characterize recrystallization kinetics during annealing. Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model...

The evolution of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for hotrolled AA1050. Samples prepared from hot rolled sheet were annealed isothermally for sufficient time to allow complete recrystallization. The microstructural variation and texture evolution in the samples was observed by automatic indexing of Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) patterns in a Scanning ...

Using different homogenization treatments, different initial microchemistry conditions in terms of solid solution levels of Mn, and number densities and sizes of constituents and dispersoids were achieved in an Al-Mn-Fe-Si model alloy. For each homogenized condition, the microchemistry and microstructure, which further change both during deformation and subsequent annealing, were quantitatively...

In this paper, how magnetic hysteresis loop and magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) measurements can provide non destructive information about the evolution of the microstructure during the annealing of cold rolled low carbon steel sheets is shown. The effect of recovery and recrystallization processes on hysteresis loop and MBN signal measurements is analysed and related to the microstructural cha...
