Abstract

Recrystallization and grain growth of 99.998% aluminum were studied by methods combining metallographic techniques with x-ray microscopy and diffraction analysis. The recrystallked grains were shown to be the product of preferential subgrain growth whereby subgrains subtending large disoriciitation angles with respect to their neighbors exhibited the highest velocity of growth. The recrystallized grains emerging from the deformed matriv showed at first a high degree of lattice perfection, but incurred growth accidents during the growth process. Values for the mean strain-free energy of the deformed matrix surrounding the growing subgrains were obtained from the kinetics of subgrain growth.
