reorganization proceeding through partial melting Recrystallization is likely to result in an increase in the degree of crystallinity, or crystal perfection or both
This describes the condition of a metal structure that has changed from one crystal structure to another, usually from a work-strained structure to a strain-free grain structure The condition is attained through specific heat treatments
a group of processes that reorganize the chemical components of minerals while they remain solid crystals and form new minerals more stable at elevated pressures and temperatures
A process whereby a distorted grain structure of cold worked metals is replaced by a new, stress-free grain structure as a result of annealing above a specific minimum temperature for a specific time The change from one crystal structure to another, as occurs on heating or cooling through a critical temperature The formation of a new, strain-free grain structure from that existing in cold worked metal, usually accomplished by heating
(1) The formation of a new, strain-free grain structure from that existing in cold worked metal, usually accomplished by heating (2) The change from on crystal structure to another, as occurs on heating or cooling through a critical temperature
A process whereby the distorted grain structure of cold-worked metals is replaced by a new, strain-free grain structure during annealing above a specific minimum temperature
