Modelling discontinuous dynamic recrystallization using a physically based model for nucleation

A physically based model for nucleation during discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) has been developed and is coupled with polyphase plasticity and grain growth models to predict the macroscopic stress and grain size evolution during straining. The nucleation model is based on a recent description for static recrystallization and considers the dynamically evolving substructure size. Model predictions are compared with literature …
