We consider a phase-field model for diffusion-induced grain boundary motion. The model couples a parabolic variational inequality to a degenerate diffusion equation. Using a regularization technique, we prove an existence theorem for the resulting system. We also obtain a uniqueness result, provided the solution has some additional regularity.

We propose a phase field model for stress and diffusion-induced interface motion. This model, in particular, can be used to describe diffusion-induced grain boundary motion and generalizes a model of Cahn, Fife and Penrose as it more accurately incorporates stress effects. In this paper we will demonstrate that the model can also be used to describe other stress-driven interface motion. As an example, interface motion resulting from interactions of interfaces with dislocations is studied.

A phase-field model is described for predicting the diffusional phase transformation process in elastically inhomogeneous polycrystals. The elastic interactions are incorporated by solving the mechanical equilibrium equation using the Fourier-spectral iterative-perturbation scheme taking into account elastic modulus inhomogeneity. A number of examples are presented, including grain boundary segregation, precipitation of second-phase particles in a polycrystal, and interaction between segregation at a grain boundary and coherent precipitates inside grains. It is shown that the local pressure distribution due to coherent precipitates leads to highly inhomogeneous solute distribution along grain boundaries.
