HT-LS Deformation Mechanism Activity
 

Glide induced vorticity is the principal rotation mechanism during the first transient stage.

In the second transient stage influence of grain boundary migration on microfabric evolution increases whereas the rotational mechanism only slightly modify the microfabric.

At steady state microfabric is preserved by a combination of grain and subgrain boundary migration, glide induced vorticity and subgrain rotation.
