The effect of fine particles on the uniformity of grain coarsening in a submicron grained Al-Sc alloy containing significant local variations in texture has been investigated using high resolution EBSD. The alloy was processed by severe plastic deformation and low temperature ageing to generate a fine-grained (0.8 µm diameter) microstructure containing either a dispersion of nanosized Al3Sc particles or a particle-free matrix. The initial processing generated a uniform grain size distribution, but the distribution of grain orientations was inhomogeneous with the microstructure containing colonies of grains consisting predominantly of either HAGBs or LAGBs with the latter possessing orientation gradients of up to 10 o/µm. Despite the marked differences in boundary character between these regions, the alloy undergoes slow and uniform grain coarsening during annealing at temperatures up to 500 oC with no marked change in the grain size distribution, boundary distribution and texture. A model of grain coarsening that takes into account the influence of fine particles on the kinetics of grain growth within an orientation gradient is outlined. The model predicts that a large volume fraction of fine particles (large f/r-value) tends to homogenize the overall rate of grain coarsening despite the presence of orientation gradients in the microstructure.

Adding the peritectic forming element Cu effectively reduced the average grain size of cast Zn by over 85%. At a specified cast condition, the smallest grain size was obtained at 2 wt% Cu addition. A further increase in Cu content led to grain coarsening in the cast Zn–Cu alloys. Although the solute effect of Cu was predominately responsible for the grain refinement through restriction of the grain growth, it was found that the variation of grain size is also closely related to the formation of the pro-peritectic phase, ∊-CuZn4. Crystallographic calculations using the edge-to-edge matching model showed low interatomic misfit and interplanar mismatch between Zn and the ∊-CuZn4phase. In addition, a reproducible h.c.p.–h.c.p. (h.c.p. denotes hexagonal close-packed) orientation relationship between Zn and the ∊-CuZn4particles (located within the Zn grain centres) was also experimentally determined using the electron backscattered diffraction method. This indicated the high potency of the pro-peritectic ∊-CuZn4particles as effective heterogeneous nucleation sites for η-Zn, which further refined the Zn grains. However, when the Cu content was over 2.0 wt%, formation of large ∊-CuZn4particles resulted in grain coarsening of the cast alloys.

Grain boundary engineering (GBE) to promote degradation-resistant interfaces in the microstructure usually requires that the grain size remains small so that strength is not compromised. Aspects of grain size measurement and control will be reviewed and discussed for a variety of GBE materials such as copper, nickel, nickel-based alloys and austenitic stainless steels, particularly in the light of the high proportion of annealing twins that constitute the GBE microstructure.
