Equiaxed crystals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Equiaxed crystals are crystals that have axes of approximately the same length. Crystals of equal axial length have more planes on which to slip and thus have higher strength and ductility.

Equiaxed grains can in some cases be an indication for recrystallization[1].
