Recrystallization and grain growth are fundamental to the microstructure evolution that takes place during the annealing and thermomechanical processing of engineering materials. The 6th International Conference on Recrystallization and Grain Growth (ReX&GG 2016) is a unique conference that is fully dedicated to covering all aspects of recrystallization and grain growth in conventional and advanced materials. These include thin films, nanocrystalline materials, metals, ceramics, composites, and geological materials. Industrial applications of recrystallization and grain growth are also treated extensively.
This meeting will include plenary, keynote, and invited lectures, as well as contributed presentations.
The technical program will include topics on:
Fundamentals of grain growth and recrystallization in metals, ceramics, composites, and minerals
Grain boundary structure, energy, mobility and migration
Deformation structures and texture effects
Static and dynamic recovery and recrystallization
Industrial control and through-process modeling of recrystallization and grain growth
Advanced characterization techniques, including 3D and in-situ methods
Modeling and simulation of grain growth and recrystallization
Ultra-fine grained structures
