Abstract
Charles Crussard's discovery of what he called Recrystallization in situ in 1944 is compared with what Egon Orowan and Robert Cahn named Polygonization. The context of the previous research is recalled in order to show the novelty of these contributions. Progress in accurate deformation and observation techniques such as tensile machines and X-ray methods were important, as were theoretical models about plausible microscopic mechanisms. With Jacques Friedel and Barney Cullity, Ch. Crussard also wrote a pioneering article on grain boundaries, which contains an experimental study of the relative energies of both symmetrical and asymmetrical grain boundaries observed in aluminium together with the first atomistic calculation of energies of symmetrical low and high angle tilt boundaries in several metals. This less well-known contribution is also recalled.
