Recrystallisation during hot working<br />

• <strong>The</strong> minimum temperature at which reformation <strong>of</strong> the crystals<br />

occurs is called Recrystallisation Temperature.<br />

• Above the recrystallisation temperature the kinetic energy <strong>of</strong> atoms<br />

increases and therefore they are able to attach themselves to the<br />

newly formed nuclei which in turn begin to grow into crystals. This<br />

process continues until all the distorted crystals have been<br />

transformed.<br />

• Hot working results in grain refining.<br />

Deformed in<br />

direction <strong>of</strong> work<br />

Nuclei form at grain boundaries at<br />

points <strong>of</strong> max stress<br />

Nuclei grow into new grains<br />
