Physically-Based Model for Static Recrystallization in AZ31

A physically-based model for static recrystallization in alloy AZ31 is presented. The model predicts the kinetics of recrystallization as a function of the applied strain and the annealing temperature. A key feature of the model is the incorporation of the effects of recovery and solute drag on the recrystallization kinetics. In addition, the model attempts to take into account the effect of heterogeneity of the deformed state on …
