Recrystallisation

Description
Plastic deforming a metal specimen at temperatures that are low relative to its absolute melting temperature produces microstructural and property changes that include a change in grain size, strain hardening, and an increase in dislocation density. Furthermore, other properties such as electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance may be modified as a consequence of plastic deformation. In this module the annealing process will be related with the mechanical properties and the metallographic structure. Then, an overview of recrystalisation, annihilation and nucleation and growth will be given.
Finally, the incubation time and the relationship between recrystallisation and temperature will be described in detail.
What you will learn
- Explain the basic concepts of the Recrystallisation Process;
- Define Nucleation and Growth;
