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 />
