Three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations with real grain orientations are performed to study the role of precipitates and sub-boundaries in the abnormal grain growth. According to the simulation results, sub-boundaries in the abnormally growing grain and precipitates in the matrix grains are necessary for the abnormal grain growth. The simulation results can be best explained by the mechanism of sub-boundary enhanced solid state wetting. The simulated microstructure is very similar to that experimentally observed.

The selective abnormal grain growth (AGG) of Goss grains in Fe-3%Si steel was investigated using a parallel Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation based on the new concept of sub-boundary enhanced solid-state wetting. Goss grains with low angle sub-boundaries will induce solid-state wetting against matrix grains with a moderate variation in grain boundary energy. Three-dimensional MC simulations of microstructure evolution with textures and grain boundary distributions matched to experimental data is using 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.
