Recrystallization, which can occur dynamically or statically, is an importantphenomenon causing microstructure changes in deformed metals and therefore affecting theproperties of the material. Even though extensive investigations have been carried out on thenumerical modeling of recrystallization, the literature lacks accurate recrystallization modelswhich are able to predict mi...

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...

When lead-free solder alloys mix with lead-free component and board metallizations during reflow soldering, the solder interconnections become multicomponent alloy systems whose microstructures cannot be predicted on the basis of the SnPb metallurgy. To better understand the influences of these microstructures on the reliability of lead-free electronics assemblies, SnAgCu-bumped components were...

Recrystallization rate of ice crystals in 33% sucrose solutions, a model frozen dessert, was measured in the presence of antifreeze protein Type I (AFP type I) at -10°C, which is relevant to practical storage or distribution temperature of frozen dessert. The concentrations of AFP type I were set to 0.01, 0.1, and 1g/ml, respectively. Ice crystals during recrystallization process were observed...

The idea of control of mechanical properties in materials through designer processing techniques is promoted through this effort, in contrast to the standard control by alloying. Microstructure evolution through dynamic recrystallization is accurately modelled for the large thermo-mechanical deformation of hyperelastic thermoviscoplastic materials. An innovative solution strategy and a computat...

in the present work the recrystallization behavior of deep drawing grade al-killed low carbon steel sheets produced by mobarakeh steel plant (msp) has been studied. salt bath isothermal annealing has been applied to cold rolled samples and the resulted microstrucrures have been compared with the microstructure obtained from the box annealing process in msp. it is found that at 635 and 700ºc the...

The aim of the present review is to summarize recent achievements in development ultrafine-grained austenitic/ferritic stainless steels processed by large strain deformation. Various aspects microstructure evolution and its effect on properties are considered. paper starts from an overview various methods deformation that successfully used for producing metallic materials. Then, structural mech...

An Al-0.3%Cu alloy was deformed to high strains by cold rolling. The as-deformed samples were annealed at different temperatures until complete recrystallization. The cold rolling textures were determined by X-ray diffraction while the recrystallization textures and microstructures were characterized by electron backscatter diffraction. It was found that the rolling texture was characterized by...
