Grain Boundary Motion

The interparticle mass transport causes the larger particles to grow at the expense of the smaller particles in the process of sintering. Coarsening during sintering results from surface motion, while grain growth results from grain boundary motion. The three-dimensional simulation was performed to study coarsening and grain growth during sintering by using the Surface Evolver program. The coarsening and grain growth were affected by the ratio of grain boundary energy to surface energy, the ratio of grain boundary mobility to surface mobility, the size of a particle, and its coordination number.

Grain Boundary Mobility

While electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has become an established technique within materials characterization labs around the world, the technique is still relatively young and new applications are continuing to emerge. Automated EBSD or Orientation Imaging Microscopy (OIM) systems are being used in combination with other equipment within the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to perform in-situ measurements. This includes tensile stages for observing changes in local orientation during deformation and heating stages for studying orientation changes arising during recrystallization and grain growth as well as phase transformations. In addition to these temporally three-dimensional studies, spatially three-dimensional studies can be performed by in-situ serial sectioning in microscopes equipped with both electron and focused ion beams. These in-situ techniques are briefly reviewed. The review is followed by a detailed analysis of in-situ heating experiments on copper. The movement of grain boundaries during recrystallization and subsequent grain growth are tracked. The effect of orientation relationships on grain boundary mobility and nucleation are explored. No special relationship with grain boundary mobility was observed. However, twins appear to play a significant role in the nucleation process.

In this study, the effects of the addition of Mg to the grain growth of austenite and the magnesium-based inclusions to mobility were investigated in SS400 steel at high temperatures. A high-temperature confocal scanning laser microscope (HT-CSLM) was employed to directly observe, in situ, the grain structure of austenite under 25 torr Ar at high temperatures. The grain size distribution of austenite showed the log-normal distribution. The results of the grain growth curves using 3D surface fitting showed that the n and Q values of the growth equation parameters ranged from 0.2 to 0.26 and from 405 kJ/mole to 752 kJ/mole, respectively, when adding 5.6–22 ppm of Mg. Increasing the temperature from 1150 to 1250 °C for 20 min and increasing the addition of Mg by 5.6, 11, and 22 ppm resulted in increases in the grain boundary velocity. The effects of solute drag and Zener pinning on grain boundary mobility were also calculated in this study.

Although it has been generally believed that the advantage of the grain boundary mobility induces abnormal grain growth (AGG), it is suggested that the advantage of the low grain boundary energy, which favors the growth by solid-state wetting, induces AGG. Analyses based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulation show that the approach by solid-state wetting could explain AGG much better than that by grain boundary mobility. AGG by solid-state wetting is supported not only by MC simulations but also by the experimental observation of microstructure evolution near or at the growth front of abnormally growing grain. The microstructure shows island grains and solid-state wetting along grain boundary and triple junction.

Grain Boundary Mobility

The paper introduces first investigations on how low angle grain boundaries can influence the recrystallisation behaviour of crystalline metallic materials. For this purpose a three-dimensional cellular automaton model was used. The approach in this study is to allow even low angle grain boundaries to move during recrystallisation. The effect of this non-zero mobility of low angle grain boundaries will be analysed for the recrystallisation of deformed Al single crystals with Cube orientation. It will be shown that low angle grain boundaries indeed influence the kinetics as well as the texture evolution of metallic materials during recrystallisation.

Secondary recrystallization Goss texture was efficiently achieved in rolled, binary Fe81Ga19 alloy sheets without the traditional dependence on inhibitors and the surface energy effect. The development of abnormal grain growth (AGG) of Goss grains was analyzed by quasi-situ electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The special primary recrystallization texture with strong {112}–{111}<110> and weak Goss texture provides the inherent pinning effect for normal grain growth by a large number of low angle grain boundaries (<15°) and very high angle grain boundaries (>45°) according to the calculation of misorientation angle distribution. The evolution of grain orientation and grain boundary characteristic indicates that the higher fraction of high energy grain boundaries (20–45°) around primary Goss grains supplies a relative advantage in grain boundary mobility from 950 °C to 1000 °C. The secondary recrystallization in binary Fe81Ga19 alloy is realized in terms of the controllable grain boundary mobility difference between Goss and matrix grains, coupled with the orientation and misorientation angle distribution of adjacent matrix grains.
