What Is Recrystallization And Grain Growth? Recrystallization is the process in which deformed grains of the crystal structure are replaced by a new set of stress-free grains that nucleate and grow until all the original grains have been consumed. The process is accomplished by heating the material to temperatures above that of crystallization. What is

Does Cold Work Decrease Grain Size? Does cold work decrease grain size? Cold working in the range of 1 to 5% caused excessive grain growth during subsequent solution treating at 1650°F. Above about 5% of cold work, critical grain growth does not occur, and the recrystallized grain size decreases with increasing cold work. How does
