CONCLUSIONS  FUTURE WORK
 Investigation of the first stage of recrystallization by:
o Designing microstructures to promote N
o Using rapid heat treatments to allow nucleation but not G
o

 Characterize the heat treatment in terms of time/temperature
profile
 Characterize the nucleation event in terms of local
misorientation, local strain gradient (EBSD)
 Introduce the data on misorientation into Zurobs model
