There have been many, sometimes conflicting, reports over the years as to how the annealing of cold-worked metals may be affected in the presence of applied fields. The annealing phenomena considered here are recovery, recrystallisation and grain growth. Practical significance relates to the kinetics of these processes and the microstructures and textures that result after these heat treatments. The externally applied ‘fields’ considered here are magnetic fields, electric fields, electric currents and mechanical (elastic) loading. The literature considered relates specifically to metals, both ferrous and non-ferrous. Attempts are made to identify consistent behaviours. In some cases, the variability of observations does not permit this. However, reasonably firm conclusions are possible in some circumstances.

金属退火过程中应用场的影响——综述

多年来，关于冷加工金属的退火如何在应用场存在的情况下受到影响，有许多报道，有时甚至相互矛盾。这里考虑的退火现象是恢复、再结晶和晶粒生长。实际意义与这些过程的动力学以及这些热处理后产生的微观结构和纹理有关。这里考虑的外部施加的“场”是磁场、电场、电流和机械（弹性）载荷。所考虑的文献特别涉及黑色金属和有色金属。尝试识别一致的行为。在某些情况下，观察的可变性不允许这样做。然而，在某些情况下，合理确定的结论是可能的。
