In order to investigate the effects of Nb carbo-nitride precipitation conditions on abnormal grain growth behavior during high temperature carburizing, size of Nb carbo-nitride precipitates was controlled by precipitation treatment at 1173-1273K for 0.6-54ks, and the specimens were quasi-carburized at 1323K. Abnormal grain growth was enhanced when the size of Nb precipitates was fine or coarse, so there is a suitable size range in Nb precipitates to suppress abnormal grain growth. The reason why abnormal grain growth was enhanced is the lack of pinning force as the conventional theory proposed by Hillert or Gladman; however, it cannot be explained by this theory that small precipitates promote abnormal grain growth. It is considered that Ostwald ripening rate of precipitates is also an important factor in controlling abnormal grain growth in addition to the amount and size of precipitates and austenite grain size, which were parameters in the Gladman‘s theory on abnormal grain growth behavior.

Grain growth in the cold rolled and subsequently recrystallized AA 5182 sheets was investigated by means of microstructure observations and texture measurements. Grain growth behavior strongly depends on the annealing temperatures. Grain growth hardly took place at temperatures lower than 470°C, which is attributed to a low mobility of grain boundaries. Abnormal grain growth occurred at temperatures ranging from 480 to 530°C. Annealing above 560°C gave rise to the dissolution of inhibitor precipitates, which led to normal grain growth.

The effect of step free energy on the grain growth behavior in a liquid matrix is studied in a model system BaTiO3-SiO2. BaTiO3-10SiO2 (mole %) powder compacts were sintered at 1280°C under various oxygen partial pressures (PO2), 0.2, ~ 10-17 and ~ 10-24 atm. As the step free energy decreases with the reduction of PO2, it was possible to observe the change in growth behavior with the reduction of the step free energy. At PO2 = 0.2 atm, essentially no grain growth (stagnant grain growth) occurred during sintering up to 50 h. At PO2 ≈ 10-17 atm, abnormal grain growth followed stagnant grain growth during extended sintering (incubation of abnormal grain growth). At PO2 ≈ 10-24 atm, normal grain growth occurred. These changes in growth behavior with PO2 and the step free energy reduction are explained in terms of the change in the critical driving force for appreciable growth relative to the maximum driving force for grain growth. The present experimental results provide an example of microstructure control in solid-liquid two- phase systems via step free energy change.

Single-crystal Cu not only has high electrical and thermal conductivity, but can also be used as a promising platform for the epitaxial growth of two-dimensional materials. Preparing large-area single-crystal Cu foils from polycrystalline foils has emerged as the most promising technique in terms of its simplicity and effectiveness. However, the studies on transforming polycrystalline foil into large-area single-crystal foil mainly focus on the influence of annealing temperature and strain energy on the recrystallization process of copper foil, while studies on the effect of annealing atmosphere on abnormal grain growth behavior are relatively rare. It is necessary to carry out more studies on the effect of annealing atmosphere on grain growth behavior to understand the recrystallization mechanism of metal. Here, we found that introduction of ethanol in pure argon annealing atmosphere will cause the abnormal grain growth of copper foil. Moreover, the number of abnormally grown grains can be controlled by the concentration of ethanol in the annealing atmosphere. Using this technology, the number of abnormally grown grains on the copper foil can be controlled to single one. This abnormally grown grain will grow rapidly to decimeter-size by consuming the surrounding small grains. This work provides a new perspective for the understanding of the recrystallization of metals, and a new method for the preparation of large-area single-crystal copper foils.

During the sintering process, the onset of abnormal grain growth is depend on various factors. The abnormal grain growth behavior, however, was focused only the growth stage compared to nucleation stage. Because most of abnormal grain growth occurred to a rapid mode, the observation of abnormal grain growth was impossible. In this study, we intend to in-situ observe the nucleation stage of abnormal grain using porous alumina. As a result, the liquid phase due to unintended impurities plays a main role for the formation of abnormal nuclei by the rearrangement of small grains due to the capillary force.
