SUBSTANCE: according to the method sample is hardened and its temperature is increased to temperature of recrystallisation, steady load is applied to the sample resulting in elastic deformation, and when temperature is increased change of elasticity modul us is recorded, zone of elasticity modulus gradie nt increase is found based on dependence of elastic ity modulus change in temperature function, line preceding the beginning of zone of elasticity modul us gradient change is extended, line is extended after the end of zone of elasticity modulus gradient change to cross over with the line preceding zone of elasticity modulus gradient change, and ab sciss of this point isidentified with temperature of recrystallisation beginning.
