Electron Microscopic Observation on the Recrystallization of the Heavily Rolled Sheet of 7-3 Brass

The recrystallization process in 7-3 brass cold rolled by 93% was examined by using an electron microscope. The orientation of the recrystallized grains 1 to 3 μ in diameter, formed at the initial stage of recrystallization, was statistically at random. It can be said, therefore, that the primary recrystallization texture whose major component is {225}〈734〉 is formed due to the oriented growth mechanism.
