Recrystallization of an iron single crystal was reported in detail by Vandermeer and Rath (V&R). We present predictions of recrystallization based on cellular automata (CA) simulations, and compare them with the data and analysis from V&R's study. Agreement is found between our CA simulations and V&R's results, provided that the CA simulations were carried out using a sufficient dynamic range for time, precision spatial dimensionalization, and accommodation of grain shape effects inherent in CA techniques.
