Recovery (metallurgy) — Recovery is a process by which deformed grains can reduce their stored energy by the removal or rearrangement of defects in their crystal structure. These defects, primarily dislocations, are introduced by plastic deformation of the material and… … Wikipedia
Cristalización — Saltar a navegación, búsqueda La cristalización es el proceso por el cual se forma un sólido cristalino, ya sea a partir de un gas, un líquido o una disolución. La cristalización es un proceso que se emplea en química con bastante frecuencia para … Wikipedia Español
Grain boundary — A grain boundary is the interface between two grains in a polycrystalline material. Grain boundaries disrupt the motion of dislocations through a material, so reducing crystallite size is a common way to improve strength, as described by the Hall … Wikipedia
Grain growth — refers to the increase in size of grains (crystallites) in a material at high temperature. This occurs when recovery and recrystallisation are complete and further reduction in the internal energy can only be achieved by reducing the total area… … Wikipedia
Porphyroclast — A porphyroclast is a clast or mineral fragment in a metamorphic rock, surrounded by a groundmass of finer grained crystals. Porphyroclasts are fragments of the original rock before dynamic recrystallisation produced the groundmass. This means… … Wikipedia
Robert W. Cahn — (1924 2007) was a metallurgist whose contributions to physical metallurgy centred on the properties of dislocations. Cahn developed a successful model for the nucleation of recrystallization, which underpinned research into industrial processes… … Wikipedia
Oblique foliation — Oblique foliation, steady state foliation or oblique fabric is a special type of a tectonically produced foliation or fabric, most commonly in quartz rich layers. The microtectonic structure can be used to determine the shear sense in shear zones … Wikipedia
