A mesoscale model is developed by integrating the rate theory and phase-field models and is used to study the fission-induced recrystallization in U-7Mo alloy. The rate theory model is used to predict the dislocation density and the critical size and density of the recrystallized nuclei due to irradiation. The predicted fission rate and temperature dependences of the dislocation density are in ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Tough pitch copper wire (99.97% Cu) is generally characterized by the spiral elongation number. The principle of the test is based on the influence of impurities on the recrystallization kinetics. Alternative non-metallographic techniques to characterize the recrystallization kinetics have been investigated in this study, such as differential scanning calorimetry (D.S.C.) and residual electrica...

The effects of prior stored energy level, annealing temperature, heating velocity, and initial grain size on annealing twin development during static recrystallization of commercially pure nickel (99.999 %) are investigated. The twin content (measured as the twin boundary density or as the number of twins per grain) at the end of recrystallization is shown to be primarily influenced by the prio...

Experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304H stainless steel. Three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the DRX critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by SRX alone with softening kinetics control...

We present simulation results based on a phase-field model that describes the migration of recrystallization boundaries into spatially varying deformation energy fields. Energy fields with 2-dimensional variations representing 2 sets of dislocation boundaries lying at equal, but opposite, angles to the moving boundary are considered. The simulations show that the shape and overall migration rat...
