recalesce			Avoiding Undercooling and Recalescence The thermal analysis data indicated that the initial state of iron varied from heat to heat, presenting different degrees of under-cooling.

The Kelvin and temperature measurements by Saunders, R.D. / Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology First, the recalescence phenomenon, where the temperature rises due to the latent heat release, is well illustrated and a substantial temperature plateau develops immediately after the recalescence.
