Recrystallization:
- Recrystallization temperature is a temperature at which 50 % cold-worked metal is recrystallized in 1 hour.
- It occurs generally between the temperature range 0.3–0.5 Tm . where Tm is the melting point in Kelvin.
- During recrystallization, a new set of strain-free and equiaxed grains form that have relatively low dislocation densities.
- The metal becomes softer, weaker, and more ductile.
- The driving force for recrystallization is the difference in internal energy between strained and recrystallized material.
Two factors that influence the recrystallization temperature are percent cold work and impurity content.
- Recrystallization temperature rises with increasing concentrations of impurities.
- The recrystallization temperature for steel is 800°C so the correct answer is option 3
- The recrystallization conditions, such as heating rate and soaking time depend on the degree of cold work and the steel composition.
