Many metallic materials are initially produced as large castings, which are then further processed in the solid state by forging, rolling and so on, to obtain the final products. This includes thermomechanical processes, such as recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth, which are key elements for controlling the microstructure of the material to obtain the target mechanical properties. In past decades, numerous studies have been conducted on the recrystallization of steels.1–6) The recrystallization behavior of cold-rolled steel largely depends on many factors such as the chemical composition of the steel, rolling reduction, and 3D Crystal Orientation Mapping of Recrystallization in Severely Cold-rolled Pure Iron Using Laboratory Diffraction Contrast Tomography
