Recrystallization of austenite during and following hot deformation has been studied in detail in a type 304 austenitic stainless steel. Furthermore, the effect of second phase on the softening process of austenite has been investigated using a 2205 duplex stainless steel. The mechanical and microstructural features have been compared for dynamic and post deformation recrystallization
