grain boundary migration

The movement of grain boundaries resulting from the diffusion of atoms or atom clusters from one crystal to its neighbour.

rotation recrystallisation

also known as the progressive misorientation of subgrains. The formation sub-grains by the relative rotation of part of a crystal lattice with respect to its neighbour.

static recrystallisation

the formation and movement of subgrain and grain boundaries unrelated to deformation. Generally as a result of a raising of the temperature. Driving force is reduction in grain boundary energy. 

dynamic recrystallisation

the formation and movement of subgrain and grain boundaries during deformation. Driving force is dislocation energy, chemical energy, reduction in grain boundary energy. 

meta-dynamic recrystallisation

the formation and movement of subgrain and grain boundaries driven by but subsequent to deformation. Driving force is dislocation energy, chemical energy, reduction in grain boundary energy.
