Fig. 7.. The strain energy distribution of the sample during the process of the deformation is projected to x axis: OG: the region of the original grain; DG: the region of the deformed grain; RG: the region of recrystallization grain. The blue arrows in the figure indicate the direction of the strain energy gradients, and the green arrows indicate the direction of the extension and contraction of the strain energy platform. Strain: (a) 0; (b) 0.0144; (c) 0.0316; (d) 0.0381; (e) 0.0432; (f) 0.0453; (g) 0.0497; (h) 0.0504; (i) 0.0533; (j) 0.0612; (k) 0.0633; (l) 0.0648; (m) 0.0684; (n) 0.0782; (o) 0.1008; (p) 0.1105; (q) 0.1152; (r) 0.1202; (s) 0.1235; (t) 0.1256; (u) 0.1307.
