Recovery:
When the load which causes plastic deformation is released, all the
elastic deformation does not disappear. This is due to the different
orientation of crystals, which will not allow some of them to move
back when the load is released. As the temperature is increased, there
is some spring back of these elastically displaced atoms which relieve
most of the internal stresses. Electrical conductivity is also increased
appreciably during the recovery stage.

The greater the prior deformation, the lower the temperature for the
start of recrystallization.
