ReX & GG IV-4th International Conference on Recrystallization and Grain Growth
July 4th (Sun.)–9th (Fri.), 2010
The University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK

Scope and Topics of the Conference

Recrystallization and grain growth are fundamental to the microstructure evolution taking place during the annealing and thermomechanical processing of engineering materials. These static and dynamic phenomena are of major scientific interest and of great importance in a wide range of industrial processes and applications. This 4th International Conference on Recrystallization and Grain Growth (ReX & GG) follows on from the 1st joint conference on ReX & GG (Aachen, Germany), the 2^nd conference (Annecy, France) and the 3rd conference (Jeju Island, Korea). The ReX & GG Conferences are concerned with all aspects of recrystallization and grain growth in conventional and advanced materials, including thin films, nanocrystalline materials and composites. Industrial applications of recrystallization and grain growth are also treated extensively. Topics for this conference will include:
❱ Fundamentals of recrystallization and grain growth in metals, ceramics and minerals
❱ Grain boundary energy, mobility and migration
❱ Dynamic annealing phenomena
❱ Behaviour in single, two-phase and multi-phase systems
❱ Ultra-fine grained structures
❱ Advanced and novel experimental methods
❱ Industrial control of recrystallization and grain growth
❱ Through-process modeling
