Most industrial alloys contain a matrix phase and dispersed second-phase particles. Several
thermomechanical processing (TMP) steps are usually needed to produce a final product …

Many commercial alloys, such as steels and aluminium alloys, are phase mixtures rather
than homogeneous solid solutions. Their recrystallization behaviour depends on whether …

We examine the equilibrium shape and the dynamics of the morphological evolution of a
coherent misfitting particle in an elastically anisotropic medium. No a priori assumptions are …

The recrystallization behaviour of an Al Mn alloy containing a duplex particle structure
consisting of a coarse distribution of large cast in inclusions and a finer dispersion of smaller …

Precipitation causes changes in the modes of plastic deformation and recrystallisation, as
well as in the development of rolling and recrystallisation textures. The nature of these …

Grain refinement not only enhances the mechanical performance of as-cast metallic
materials but also provides an effective mechanism for controlling cast defects, such as …

The effect of second-phase particles on the rate of grain refinement during severe
deformation processing has been investigated, by comparing the microstructure evolution in …

The evolution in the understanding of the recrystallization phenomena is summarized in this
paper. Initially the main developments concerning recrystallization are presented from a …

Cast aluminum alloys usually contain coarse constituents which are likely to serve as
potential nucleation sites during recrystallization. In the course of deformation a special zone …

The recrystallized grain size and texture in alloys can be controlled via the microchemistry
state during thermomechanical processing. The influence of concurrent precipitation on …
