Recrystallization and Grain Growth V
Description:
Recrystallization and grain growth are mechanisms that alter the microstructure without necessarily altering the phase. They are typically driven by high internal elastic and surface energies though sometimes other volumetric energy terms appear. The topic is important to materials engineers and scientists and geologists alike. The former typically aim to exert control over the phenomena for technological and economic benefit while the latter often seek in these mechanisms the answers to questions regarding events long gone. This collection of peer-reviewed papers brings together the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Recrystallization and grain growth are mechanisms that alter the microsctructure of a material without necessarily altering the phase. Materials scientists try to control the phenomena for technological and economic benefits, and geologists often find in the mechanisms clues to events that happened long ago. The 119 peer-reviewed and selected papers cover techniques, deformation structures, grain boundaries, recrystallization, grain growth, hot deformations, and related phenomena. Among specific topics are measuring strain and lattice rotation in the particle deformation zone, microstructure and texture evolutions in a short-time-annealed interstitial-free steel, the recrystallization of cold-rolled zirconium single crystals, the influence of finishing rolling variables on austenite recrystallization and grain growth, and the orientation of island and small grains in grain oriented electrical steels.
