This paper describes a level set framework for the full field modeling of dynamic and post-dynamic recrystallization in a 3D polycrystalline material with an accurate description of grains topology at large deformation and application to 304L austenitic stainless steel. Topological evolutions are simulated based on a kinetic law linking the velocity of the boundaries to the thermodynamic driving forces. Recrystallization is modeled by coupling a level set approach to phenomenological laws describing strain hardening mechanism and nucleation criteria. Although the proposed formalism does not consider crystal plasticity because of its computational costs, it enables to reach outstanding dynamic recrystallization computations in a front-capturing finite element framework comparatively to the state of art.
