recrystallization process.Figure 3. The effect of annealing on the microstructure (a) cold work, (b) after recovery, (c) after recrystallization, (d) after grain growth.If the material is heated above the TR temperature grains will tend to grow in size. Diffusion ofatoms into the grain at high temperatures causes grain boundaries to move. Some grains grow atthe expense of others therefore reducing grain boundary energy. The driving force for graingrowth is the decrease in free energy associated with the grain boundary area at the expense ofincrease area of the grains. As grain growth continues its size is restricted by fine dispersion ofsecond phase particles in the microstructure.Engineering Design Consideration of Cold Work and Annealed
