Strain dependence
Aluminum Handbook, Hatch (1984).
• In most materials, the grain size after recrystallization
decreases as the strain increases. For most applications,
small grain size is desirable. Certain applications, however,
require large grain size, and so small strains are sometimes
used.
• Note that the heating rate has essentially no effect on the

outcome of recrystallization.
