Magnesium alloy with Long-Period Stacking Ordered Structure (LPSO) and α-Mg (ordinary HCP structure) phase is expected for a new structural material due to its excellent mechanical properties. Its materials strengthening arises from the kink band formation in LPSO phase and the grain refinement of α-Mg phase in the vicinity of LPSO phase because of recrystallization. In the present study, a multiscale and multiphysics computation for the dynamic recrystallization in α-Mg phase is carried out by coupling the dislocation-based crystal plasticity model for HCP crystals proposed previously by the authors with the multi-phase field model through dislocation density. In the present model, not only the environmental temperature-dependences of nucleation and nucleus growth but also a pinning effect of boundary migration of recrystallized grain boundary owing to existence and influence of additive elements are newly taken into account. Furthermore, grain size behaviors of recrystallized nuclei are investigated for various volume fractions of additive element and ratios of grain boundary segregation.

This paper discusses a coupled mechanics–phase-field model that can predict microstructure evolution in metallic polycrystals and in particular evolution of lattice orientation due to either deformation or grain boundary migration. The modeling framework relies on the link between lattice curvature and geometrically necessary dislocations and connects a micropolar or Cosserat theory with an orientation phase-field model. Some focus is placed on the underlying theory and in particular the theory of dislocations within a continuum single crystal plasticity setting. The model is finally applied to the triple junction problem for which there is an analytic solution if the grain boundary energies are known. The attention is drawn on the evolution of skew–symmetric stresses inside the grain boundary during migration.
