Abstract
The kinetics of austenite recrystallization was evaluated in range of typical forging temperatures (850 - 1250) °C. The steels SA-508 and 3.5Ni-1.5Cr were compared. The laboratory one step deformation was applied. The effect of selected chemical elements in evaluated steels on grain growth and recrystallization kinetics of austenite and precipitation was monitored using metallographic methods. The retarding of static recrystallization was proved and no abnormal grain coarsening at defined condition was observed.
