Modelling and simulation of recrystallization, grain growth, and related phenomena are important tools for the fundamental understanding of microstructural evolution that takes place during the annealing and thermomechanical processing of steel. It is also important for the prediction of engineering properties. In this paper, the evolution of mean grain radius and the recrystallized volume fraction of steel was modelled using the statistical theory of grain growth originally developed by Lücke [1] and here integrated to take into consideration the effect of recrystallization. In particular, the effect of one free input parameter (initial distribution of grain radii) of the model is analysed without taking into account the textures effect.

Abstract
Modelling and simulation of recrystallization, grain growth, and related phenomena are important tools for the fundamental understanding of microstructural evolution that takes place during the annealing and thermomechanical processing of steel. It is also important for the prediction of engineering properties. In this paper, the evolution of mean grain radius and the recrystallized volume fraction of steel was modelled using the statistical theory of grain growth originally developed by Lücke [1] and here integrated to take into consideration the effect of recrystallization. In particular, the effect of one free input parameter (initial distribution of grain radii) of the model is analysed without taking into account the textures effect.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
