Dynamic recrystallization, a key mechanism for the deformation of metals, rocks, and ice

Dynamic recrystallization is a key mechanism during hot deformation of crystalline materials. It induces a restructuring at small scales (micron), that strongly impacts the mechanical response of materials. It influences metal forming processes, flow of ice sheets and plate tectonics.

Although studied for a long time, the diversity of scales and kinetics of the physical processes at play still hinders the development of general dynamic recrystallization models. The DREAM project associated experimental measurements with innovative models to study two model-materials : ice and magnesium. It produced an accurate description of the fundamental mechanisms and the evaluation of the feedback between recrystallization and strain heterogeneities, leading to the development of a modeling approach with a tailored level of complexity. These results will lead to a better representation of the effects of dynamic recrystallization in large-scale modeling.

The cross-disciplinary research of DREAM opened the way toward a stochastic approach for simulating the effects of recrystallization mechanisms in largescale flow models. This perspective will be concretised in the ERC Advanced Grant RhEoVOLUTION (2020-2025).
