A Monte Carlo technique was used to simulate primary recrystallization and
grain growth in IF steels. In order to consider anisotropic properties of g
rain boundary energy and grain boundary mobility, functions of boundary mis
orientation were introduced. The yield surface of IF steels was calculated
by coupling a visco-plastic self-consistent polycrystal model with a Monte
Carlo technique. (C) 2001 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Scienc
