Modeling the kinetics and microstructural evolution during static recrystallization -- Monte Carlo simulation of recrystallization
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States). Modeling and Simulation Group
The kinetics of microstructure and texture evolution during static recrystallization of a cold-rolled and annealed f.c.c. material is simulated by coupling a finite element model of microstructural deformation with a Monte Carlo simulation of recrystallization. The salient features of the simulations include a nucleation model for recrystallization based on subgrain growth and the modeling of simultaneous recovery during recrystallization. The simulation results quantify the effects of non-uniform stored energy distribution and orientation gradients present in the cold-worked microstructure on recovery by subgrain growth, and hence on the spatial distribution of nuclei and their orientations. The growth of these recrystallized levels of {epsilon} = 0.7 and 1.1 obtained by plane strain compression. The simulations are shown to be potentially capable of capturing the formation and evolution of cube texture commonly observed in cold-rolled and annealed f.c.c. materials.
