= Recalescence
{wiki=Recalescence}
Recalescence is a phenomenon observed in materials, particularly in metallurgy, during the phase transformation from a liquid to a solid state, specifically during solidification. It refers to the rise in temperature that can occur in a material as it transitions from a supercooled liquid to a solid phase. When a metal or alloy is cooled past its freezing point, it may continue to cool below its equilibrium solidification temperature, entering a metastable state.
