recrystallization
Dissolve then solidify
Recrystallization is a purification technique in chemistry where a solid is dissolved in a hot solvent, then allowed to cool so that pure crystals form while impurities remain dissolved: We purified the compound through recrystallization.
In metallurgy, it refers to the formation of new crystal grains in a metal when heated, relieving internal stresses from working the material.
