Uudelleenkiteytyslämpötila, also known as recrystallization temperature, is a crucial concept in materials science and engineering, particularly concerning crystalline solids. It refers to the temperature at which a deformed material will recrystallize. Recrystallization is a process where new, strain-free grains nucleate and grow within a deformed microstructure, replacing the old, deformed grains. This transformation leads to a significant softening of the material and restoration of its ductility.

The specific recrystallization temperature is not a single fixed value but depends on several factors. The material's composition and crystal structure play a primary role. Alloying elements can either raise or lower the recrystallization temperature. The degree of prior deformation is also significant; higher deformation generally lowers the recrystallization temperature because it provides more stored energy to drive the process. Furthermore, the time held at a certain temperature influences whether recrystallization occurs. Longer times at a given temperature can lead to recrystallization even if it wouldn't happen in shorter periods.

Understanding and controlling the recrystallization temperature is vital for many manufacturing processes, such as annealing, forging, and rolling. By carefully managing temperatures during these operations, engineers can tailor the microstructure and properties of materials to achieve desired characteristics like improved strength, toughness, or workability. Incorrectly controlled recrystallization can lead to undesirable grain growth, reduced mechanical properties, or even material failure.
