Abstract
The partially recrystallized structures formed during solution treatment were studied using optical microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). Using the EBSD technique, it was also possible to directly determine the driving force or recrystallization after hot rolling. This information was used in the development of a model capable of predicting the recrystallized volume fraction in hot rolled 7050 thick plate. Due to the inherent complexity of recrystallization in these materials producing a practical model required the use of several simplifying assumptions. The validity of these assumptions was tested by comparing predictions with experimental observations of the partially recrystallized structures obtained after solution treatment and aging.
