  2. Recrystallization (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recrystallization_(metallurgy)

    Recrystallization kinetics are commonly observed to follow the profile shown. There is an initial 'nucleation period' t 0 where the nuclei form, and then begin to grow at a constant rate consuming the deformed matrix. Although the process does not strictly follow classical nucleation theory it is often found that such mathematical descriptions ...

  3. Dynamic recrystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_recrystallization

    Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is a type of recrystallization process, found within the fields of metallurgy and geology. In dynamic recrystallization, as opposed to static recrystallization, the nucleation and growth of new grains occurs during deformation rather than afterwards as part of a separate heat treatment.

  4. Grain growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_growth

    Grain growth has long been studied primarily by the examination of sectioned, polished and etched samples under the optical microscope.Although such methods enabled the collection of a great deal of empirical evidence, particularly with regard to factors such as temperature or composition, the lack of crystallographic information limited the development of an understanding of the fundamental ...

  5. Avrami equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avrami_equation

    i.e., crystallization takes a time that decreases as one over the one-quarter power of the nucleation rate per unit volume, ˙, and one over the three-quarters power of the growth velocity ˙. Typical crystallites grow for some fraction of the crystallization time t X {\displaystyle t_{X}} and so have a linear dimension G ˙ t X {\displaystyle ...

  6. Classical nucleation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_nucleation_theory

    Classical nucleation theory (CNT) is the most common theoretical model used to quantitatively study the kinetics of nucleation. [1] [2] [3] [4]Nucleation is the first step in the spontaneous formation of a new thermodynamic phase or a new structure, starting from a state of metastability.

  7. Crystallization of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization_of_polymers

    The methods used to determine the degree of crystallinity can be incorporated over time to measure the kinetics of crystallization. The most basic model for polymer crystallization kinetics comes from Hoffman nucleation theory. The crystallization process of polymers does not always obey simple chemical rate equations. Polymers can crystallize ...

  8. Critical radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_radius

    Critical radius is the minimum particle size from which an aggregate is thermodynamically stable. In other words, it is the lowest radius formed by atoms or molecules clustering together (in a gas, liquid or solid matrix) before a new phase inclusion (a bubble, a droplet or a solid particle) is viable and begins to grow.
