Steiner, M. A.; McCabe, R. J.; Garlea, E.; Agnew, S. R.

In this study, starting with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) data obtained from a warm clock-rolled α-uranium deformation microstructure, a Potts Monte Carlo model was used to simulate static site-saturated recrystallization while testing a number of different conditions for the assignment of recrystallized nuclei within the microstructure. The simulations support observations that recrystallized nuclei within α-uranium form preferentially on non-twin high-angle grain boundary sites at 450 °C, and demonstrate that the most likely nucleation sites on these boundaries can be identified by the surrounding degree of Kernel Average Misorientation (KAM), which may be considered as a proxy for the local geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) density.
