BHQ shortened 57% at 900°C, 10-6/sec and 1200 MPa, with ~0.2 wt % water added. This sample is ~80-90% recrystallized, with only a slight indication of flattening of original grains. For conditions of steady state flow (constant flow stress), which this sample exhibited, the recrystallized grain size should depend only on the stress magnitude. CQ82 x 10.
