A systematic study of the recrystallization mechanisms in carbon steels has been undertaken. The microstructures (martensite, pearlite, tempered martensite containing Fe3C—particles of various sizes) of the starting-point specimens were prepared in a preliminary heat-treatment experiment. For each of the specimens, the start, progress and end of recrystallization were followed up by means of optical and electron microscopes as well as hardness measurements. Various recrystallization mechanisms were observed, and each was seen to have correlation with a particular starting-point microstructure.
