In this paper, the effect of grain boundary energy in AZ31 Mg alloy with multi-order parameters phenomenological phase field model has been discussed during the progress of recrystallization. The average grain size of the recrystallization grain at a certain temperature and a certain restored energy but various grain boundary energies have been studied, and the simulated results show that the larger the grain boundary energy is, the larger the average grain size will be, and the speed of grain growth will increase with the increase of grain boundary energy. Additionally, temperature will also increase the grain growth rate.

In this paper, the directional solidification microstructure of Bridgman system was simulated using phase-field method, and different calculated results were obtained with four pulling velocities. When the pulling velocity is 0.06 cm/s, the columnar crystals competitively grow in the initial stage, and have a necking phenomenon in the last stage. When the pulling velocity is 0.04 cm/s, the columnar crystals become thinner and competitively grow all the time, and the microsegregation is bigger. When the pulling velocity is 1.00 cm/s, planar interface comes back, and solute trapping takes place. The columnar crystals become much thinner, and microsegregation decreases. When the pulling velocity is 3.00 cm/s, the grain boundary of columnar crystals becomes unconspicuous, and the degree of microsegregation approaches 1.

AbstractThe promising phase-field method has been intensively studied for crack approximation in brittle materials. The realistic representation of material degradation at a fully evolved crack is still one of the main challenges. Several energy split formulations have been postulated to describe the crack evolution physically. A recent approach based on the concept of representative crack elements (RCE) in Storm et al. (The concept of representative crack elements (RCE) for phase-field fracture: anisotropic elasticity and thermo-elasticity. Int J Numer Methods Eng 121:779–805, 2020) introduces a variational framework to derive the kinematically consistent material degradation. The realistic material degradation is further tested using the self-consistency condition, which is particularly compared to a discrete crack model. This work extends the brittle RCE phase-field modeling towards rate-dependent fracture evolution in a viscoelastic continuum. The novelty of this paper is taking internal variables due to viscoelasticity into account to determine the crack deformation state. Meanwhile, a transient extension from Storm et al. (The concept of representative crack elements (RCE) for phase-field fracture: anisotropic elasticity and thermo-elasticity. Int J Numer Methods Eng 121:779–805, 2020) is also considered. The model is derived thermodynamic-consistently and implemented into the FE framework. Several representative numerical examples are investigated, and consequently, the according findings and potential perspectives are discussed to close this paper.
