During the first transient stage microfabric is primarily influenced by rotational mechanisms (glide induced vorticity, subgrain rotation, rigid body rotation).

Grain boundary migration recrystallization shows a strong influence on microfabric in the second part of the HT-HS experiments.

Steady state microfabric is preserved by a combination of gbm, glide induced vorticity, subgrain rotation and spontaneous nucleation.
