Abnormally large grains have been observed in Al-Mg alloy AA5182 sheet material after forming at elevated temperature, and the reduced yield strength that results in a practical problem for commercial hot-forming operations. The process by which abnormal grains are produced is investigated through controlled hot tensile testing to reproduce the microstructures of interest. Abnormal grains are shown to develop strictly during static annealing or cooling following hot deformation; the formation of abnormal grains is suppressed during plastic straining. Abnormal grains grow by static abnormal grain growth (SAGG), which becomes a discontinuous recrystallization process when abnormal grains meet to form a fully recrystallized microstructure. Nuclei which grow under SAGG are produced during hot deformation by the geometric dynamic recrystallization (GDRX) process. The mechanism through which a normally continuous recrystallization process, GDRX, may be interrupted by a discontinuous process, SAGG, is discussed.
