A very large part of metallic materials is used in the wrought form. Several thermomechanical processing (TMP) steps are usually employed to produce the intermediate or final products, during which recrystallization and its related phenomena such as work hardening, recovery and grain growth may take place. The sophisticated controlling of recrystallization is one of the most effective ways to tailor the microstructures and mechanical properties of metallic components. Recrystallization: Types, Techniques and Applications is the joint work of several well-known active scientists within this field, and each one focuses on the latest developments of their specific topics. This book covers the deformation structure and recovery, recrystallization and grain growth phenomena, characterization of recrystallization, interaction between recrystallization and solute/second phase particles, the competition between phase transformation and recrystallization, as well as numerical modelling of recrystallization. It is a standard reference for practicing engineers and researchers involved in hot deformation and heat treatment of metallic materials.
