I've been confused for a long time and can't figure this out:
In annealing process, after recrystallisation, new "strain-free" grains replaced the strained grains, but it seems there are much more grain boundaries than before the material was annealed? Is this true?
Having more grain...
Does a single crystal specimen have a smaller Young's Modulus than a polycrystalline specimen?
I think a single crystal would have a lower elastic mudolus since it has less grain boundaries and probably less dislocations than a polycrystalline specimen.
I'd appreciate any ideas
thanks
