Recrystallization of Ferrite in Spheroidite of Fe-0.67%C Steel

In this paper the study of ferrite recrystallization in Fe-0.67%C carbon steel with microstructure of the coarse spheroidite was performed.The purpose of the investigations was to determine the recrystallization mechanism and the sites of recrystallization nucleation.It has been shown indirectly that in the investigated steel after deformation, ε, greater than ε = 9%, recrystallization of the matrix (ferrite) proceeds discontinuously and recrystallization nucleates in the deformation zones around large particles.
