Abstract
A systematic procedure based on optical microscopy has been developed in order to measure the microstructural parameters of interest in recrystallization studies. It basically consists of the application of available stereology methods to determine volume fraction recrystallized and to count the types of boundaries commonly found during the transformation. An important feature of this methodology is that it provides information about the nucleation kinetics and growth rate. An example, hot worked and annealed Al1Mg alloy, is used to illustrate how the different parameters are calculated from the measurements. The discussion is focused on the usefulness of this information to understanding the recrystallization behaviour of metals and alloys.
