Partial textures of regime 1, 2 and 3 of dynamic recrystallization

Higher magnification of experimentally deformed Black Hills quartzite (compare 4.5) and selective texture analysis of old grains and recrystallized grains (Tullis & Heilbronner, 1999).

Experimental conditions:

regime 1 (W871):

  • pc = 1.5 GPa
  • T = 850°C
  • strain rate = 10-5 s-1
  • as-is

regime 2 (W872):

  • pc = 1.5 GPa
  • T = 900°C
  • strain rate = 10-5 s-1
  • 0.17 wt% water added

regime 3 (W858):

  • pc = 1.5 GPa
  • T = 900°C
  • strain rate = 10-6 s-1
  • 0.17 wt% water added
