A dynamic recrystallization (DRX) cellular automaton (CA) model that can mark the microstructure with DRX circle was developed. The effects of initial grain size on the stress-strain curve, mean grain size and DRX fraction were mainly investigated, and the simulated results were compared with those obtained from previous researches. The results show that the shape of the stress-strain curve is sensitive, while the stress and mean grain size at the steady state are insensitive to the initial grain size. The transition from a multiple-peak stress-strain curve to a single-peak one can be explained by variations in DRX circle fraction, and the initial grain size to make this transition is between 70 and 80 μm.
