Influence of strain rate and crystallographic orientation on dynamic recrystallization of pure Zn during room-temperature compression

This work investigates the strain rate dependence of dynamic recrystallization behaviour of high-purity zinc in room temperature compression under strain rates of 10−4 s-1, 10-2 s-1 and 0.5 s-1. Results from electron backscatter diffraction provide insight into the deformation and dynamic recrystallization mechanisms operative. Continuous dynamic recrystallization, twin-induced dynamic recrystallization, and discontinuous dynamic...
