Nucleation of recrystallization

Investigation of nucleation processes during dynamic recrystallization of ice using cryo-EBSD.

Nucleation mechanisms occurring during dynamic recrystallization play a crucial role in the evolution of microstructures and textures during high temperature deformation. In polycrystalline ice, the strong viscoplastic anisotropy induces high strain heterogeneities between grains which control the recrystallization mechanisms. Here, we study the nucleation mechanisms occurring during creep test...

Direct observation of tribological recrystallization

The fundamental processes of tribology related to friction, wear, and adhesion [1–3] are still not well understood [4,5]. When a single asperity touches and slides on a surface, complex phenomena such as local rearrangements of atoms, permanent change of the surface structure [6], and more macroscopic phenomena such as dislocation motion or microstructural changes can occur. As the interface is...

Recrystallization of Enantiomers from Conglomerates

An object is considered as “chiral” if it is not superimposable on its mirror image. Due to the presence of asymmetric carbon atoms, numerous molecules are chiral but other stereogenic centers provide the asymmetric character of molecular compound (e.g. sulfoxides). Metalorganic complexes can also be asymmetric even if the ligands do not have any stereogenic center. The equimolar mixture of two...

Approaches to Modeling of Recrystallization

Control of the material microstructure in terms of the grain size is a key component in tailoring material properties of metals and alloys and in creating functionally graded materials. To exert this control, reliable and efficient modeling and simulation of the recrystallization process whereby the grain size evolves is vital. The present contribution is a review paper, summarizing the current...
