CURRENT ISSUES IN RECRYSTALLIZATION - A REVIEW

The current understanding of the fundamentals of recrystallization is summarized. This includes understanding the as-deformed state. Several aspects of recrystallization are described: nucleation and growth, th e development of misorientation during deformation, continuous, dynami c, and geometric dynamic recrystallization, particle effects, and text ure. This article is authored by the leading experts in these areas. T he subjects are discussed individually and recommendations for further study are listed in the final section.
