Abstract
Chemical and microstructural data from one experimentally and two naturally deformed and recrystallized micas are discussed in terms of established metallurgical mechanisms for strain-induced nucleation and growth during recrystallization. It is suggested that none of these nucleation mechanisms is applicable, and that nucleation is driven by energy from both chemical and permanent strain sources. Subsequent growth of the nuclei is influenced by the deformation or by coincidence lattice relationships.
