Abstract

Grain growth after primary recrystallization in unstrained and strained specimens of pure iron is examined during isothermal anneals at three different temperatures (664, 680, 690° C). Undeformed specimens undergo continuous grain growth, while the deformed ones show a stage of rapid discontinuous growth. The peculiar characteristics of the abnormal growth kinetics, and in particular the presence of three well-defined stages of growth, are brought out by plotting, versus annealing time, the ratio between the mean grain diameters of deformed and undeformed samples. The parametersn (exponent of the kinetic equation) andQ (apparent activation energy) are determined.
