Abstract In previous work [1], we analyzed the recrystallization kinetics in cold-rolled AA5657 and AA5182 based on measurements of volume fraction recrystallized material, free (unimpinged) surface area density average size recrystallizing grains, plus contiguity between for a series partially samples. that work, calculated growth nucleation rates were used as basis from analysis. These two pr...

The protrusions and retrusions observed on the recrystallizing boundaries affect the migration kinetics during recrystallization. Characterization of the boundary roughness is necessary in order to evaluate their effects. This roughness has a structure that can be characterized by fractal analysis, and in this study the so-called “Minkowski sausage” method is adopted. Hereby, two cube-oriented ...

Experimental results show that voids inside additive manufactured (i.e. 3D printed) materials are unavoidable. As such samples often post-printing annealed, it is thus of interest to understand how affect boundary migration. In this work, phase field simulations recrystallization carried out for systems containing and typical inhomogeneous microstructures. The simulation the significantly shape...

Martensite is a major constituent of Fe–C alloys. Its metastable body-centered tetragonal structure provides high tensile strength to martensitic steels. Recent experiments highlighted the benefit large solute carbon content and ductility so-called virgin martensite obtained by sub-zero quench. The results suggest significant contribution elastic anelastic deformation crystals rheology these In...
