AbstractMass transport along grain boundaries in alloys depends not only on the atomic structure of the boundary, but also its chemical make-up. In this work, we use molecular dynamics to examine the effect of Cr alloying on interstitial and vacancy-mediated transport at a variety of grain boundaries in Ni. We find that, in general, Cr tends to reduce the rate of mass transport, an effect which is greatest for interstitials at pure tilt boundaries. However, there are special scenarios in which it can greatly enhance atomic mobility. Cr tends to migrate faster than Ni, though again this depends on the structure of the grain boundary. Further, grain boundary mobility, which is sometimes pronounced for pure Ni grain boundaries, is eliminated on the time scales of our simulations when Cr is present. We conclude that the enhanced transport and grain boundary mobility often seen in this system in experimental studies is the result of non-equilibrium effects and is not intrinsic to the alloyed grain boundary. These results provide new insight into the role of grain boundary alloying on transport that can help in the interpretation of experimental results and the development of predictive models of materials evolution.

Polycrystalline Metals

Electron microscope observations on some polycrystalline metals suggest that after small to moderate deformation, recrystallization occurs by the migration of the original grain boundaries. A theory based on this mechanism can account for the known form of the recrystallization kinetics without necessarily introducing any anisotropy of grain boundary mobility. For this mechanism the so-called recrystallization activation energy is identical to the activation energy for grain boundary migration.

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.

Understanding the nature of glass/crystalline interfaces is not only of fundamental scientific interest but is directly relevant to the liquid-phase sintering of polycrystalline ceramics such as α-alumina. Faceting behavior of alumina in the presence of SiO2 glass has been of much interest in the field of sintering with respect to the grain growth and the grain boundary mobility during sintering. The study of grain boundaries containing a glassy phase in alumina compacts is difficult however, since many of the TEM techniques presently available for the identification of a glassy phase at grain boundaries can give ambiguous results due to grain boundary grooving. A method for systematically studying glassy / crystalline interfaces without such ambiguity is therefore needed. Part of this study of the interaction of grain boundaries in alumina with an anorthite-based glassy phase is presented here.Previous systematic studies4 of different low-index surfaces of single crystal alumina showed that there is strong anisotropy in the faceting behavior of alumina and in the mobility of these facets in the presence of an anorthite-based glassy phase.

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.

Grain Boundary Mobility

Emergence of engineering nanomaterials to render exceptional properties require understanding the thermodynamics and kinetics of grain growth and eliciting role of grain boundary mobility therein. Grain boundary mobility in alumina (Al2O3) has shown several repercussions on the evolution of microstructure to render drastic differences in the mechanical- (hardness, yield strength), optical- (transmittance), electrical- (conductivity), magnetic- (susceptibility), and electrochemical- (corrosion) properties. Consequently, the role of surface energy and the effect of temperature in equilibrating the grain shape and size are presented herewith. Several statistical or deterministic computational modeling have been attempted by researchers to elicit the dominating grain growth mechanisms. But, the limitations extend from the memory of computer and number of atoms in a simulation, or feeding the boundary conditions without incorporation of the initial microstructure to arrive at the dominating growth mechanism parameters. Contrastingly, the role of dopants in Al2O3 to either enhance or impede the grain growth is presented via various complexions responsible for transitions at the grain boundary interface. Six complexions resulting various grain boundary interface, strongly affect the grain boundary mobility, and sideline the dopant contributions in deciding the overall grain boundary mobility. It has also been presented that grain growth exponent increases with decreasing grain size, and additionally, secondary reinforcement of carbon nanotube (CNT) in Al2O3 impedes the grain mobility by as much as four times. The effect of temperature is found to be more pronounced, and has shown to enhance the grain boundary mobility by as much as six orders of magnitude.

Control of grain size during recrystallization of aluminum alloys is critical when tailoring material properties for structural applications. Most commonly the grain size is controlled by adding alloying elements which form second phases during homogenization heat treatments small enough to impose a Zener drag on the grain boundary mobility. These phases are known as dispersoids and are in the 10 to 200 nm in diameter range. In Al-Zn alloys, zirconium has been successfully used in controlling the degree of recrystallization after solution heat treatments. It is commonly understood that the Al3Zr dispersoids of about 20 nm in diameter present in the microstructure are the key features affecting grain boundary mobility. With the success of controlling recrystallization in Al- Zn alloys, zirconium has been added to other alloy systems, such as Al-Cu-Mn, and a similar retarding effect in recrystallization kinetics has been observed as seen in the Al-Zn systems. However, in Al-Cu-Mn alloys, zirconium bearing dispersoids are not observable in the microstructure. Consequently, additional microstructural effects such as solute drag need to be considered to explain the experimental observations. In this paper, the role of zirconium additions in aluminum alloys will be summarized.

Grain Boundary Motion

The motion of grain boundaries in zinc bicrystals (99.995%) driven by the “magnetic” driving force was investigated. Planar symmetrical and asymmetrical tilt grain boundaries with rotation angles in the range between 60° and 90° were examined. At a given temperature the boundary migration rate was found to increase linearly with an applied driving force. The absolute grain boundary mobility was determined. The boundary mobility and its temperature dependence were found to depend on the misorientation angle and the inclination of the boundary plane. An application of a magnetic field during the annealing of cold rolled (90%) Zn-1.1%Al sheet specimens resulted in an asymmetry of the two major texture components. This is interpreted in terms of magnetically affected grain growth kinetics.

Half Loop

The paper presents experimental results of studying the motion of individual special tilt grain boundaries in the form of a half-loop with a facet. There is a deviation of temperature dependence of grain boundary mobility from Arrhenius dependence. This behavior is interpreted as a manifestation of grain boundary mobility hysteresis due to the faceting-defaceting phase transition. The values of the temperature of the faceting - defaceting phase transitions and the hysteresis parameters of grain boundary mobility were determined experimentally for the studied individual boundaries.

Grain Boundary Mobility

A simple mesoscale model has been developed for discontinuous dynamic recrystallization. Each grain is considered in turn as an inclusion, embedded in a homogeneous equivalent matrix, the properties of which are obtained by averaging over all the grains. The model includes: (i) a grain-boundary migration-equation driving the evolution of grain size via the mobility of grain boundaries, which is coupled with (ii) a single-internal-variable (dislocation density) constitutive model for strain hardening and dynamic recovery, and (iii) a nucleation equation governing the total number of grains by the nucleation of new grains. All the system variables tend to asymptotic values at large strains, in agreement with the experimentally observed steady-state regime.With some assumptions, both steady-state stress and grain-size are derived in closed forms, allowing immediate identification of the mobility of grain boundaries and the rate of nucleation. An application to Ni–Nb-pure-binary model alloys and high-purity 304L stainless steel with Nb addition is presented. More specifically on one hand, from experimental steady-state stresses and grain sizes, variations of the grain boundary mobility and the nucleation rate with niobium content are addressed in order to quantify the solute-drag effect of niobium in nickel. And on the other hand, the Derby exponents were investigated varying separately the strain rate or the temperature.
