Modeling the recrystallized grain size in single phase materials

A model is proposed for post-recrystallization grain size. The model is based on the coarsening of subgrain networks as present after deformation and recovery. It is shown that the orientation spread in the subgrain network is the key variable in predicting the density of abnormal subgrains and, hence, the recrystallized grain size. The model explains the strong dependence of the post-recrystallization grain size on prior strain and the lack of a dependence on the annealing temperature.
