Recrystallization is a major means for controlling the grain size of steel during hot deformation. Usually, small grain sizes deliver superior mechanical properties. To aid the grain size controlling effect of recrystallization, small precipitates of carbo-nitride particles can be utilized to hinder the movement of grain boundaries. Interestingly, these particles are not only effective during grain growth, but also during recrystallization. In the present work, a recently developed state-parameter based model is introduced that is capable of describing both, the individual processes of static recrystallization, dynamic and static recovery and precipitation as well as the mutual interaction of these mechanisms in the course of elevated temperature processing. The evolution of state parameters within the model is discussed and the simulation results are compared to experimental information. Within our approach, a vast amount of experimental data for microalloyed steel is reproduced on basis of a single set of input parameters
