log(g)
• Depends on dislocation density
• Depends on stress -p
• Surface-energy driven • Grain size increase (grain growth)
recrystallisation
• Static recrystallisation
increases grain size • Depends on amount of surfaces
(grain growth) • Depends on grain size log(!)
• Empirical relationship: g " c # $%p

balance: • If we know the grain size, we know the stress!
