The austenite recrystallization kinetics in the intercritical region of a C-Mn steel is investigated by means of stress relaxation tests. It is found that the Avrami exponent, n, decreases significantly with decreasing temperature, i.e., with increasing ferrite fraction. This behavior deviates from that of austenite recrystallization in the purely austenitic state, in which case the Avrami exponent is constant and independent of temperature. To resolve the origin of the changing Avrami exponent, the influence of the austenite/ferrite interface boundary area and that of the spatial variation of the plastic strain in the austenite grains is modeled quantitatively. The modeling results seem to indicate that the strain heterogeneity rather than the reduced interface boundary length is responsible for the decreasing Avrami exponent with decreasing temperature.
