Quantifying primary recrystallization from EBSD maps of partially recrystallized states of an IF steel

A set of IF steel specimens, at several stages recrystallization, were subjected to EBSD analysis provide data for a study primary recrystallization. First, criterion was defined detecting the recrystallized grains that combines multiple parameters. The new approach pays particular attention ensuring reasonable fractions are obtained in both early and late Using this partition orientations maps into non-recrystallized grains, distribution density nuclei, their correlation with parameters stored energy, texture determined. evolution grain size distribution, microstructure is then discussed terms balance two main mechanisms (growth deformed matrix growth competition between already grains) which occur during
