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.

ABSTRACTAn equilibrium model for agglomeration based upon the mechanism of grain boundary grooving in polycrystalline thin films is suggested. It involves an energy balance between surface, interface, and grain boundary energies, and predicts parameters which will influence the onset of agglomeration. It has been determined that small grain size, low grain boundary energy, high film surface and interface energies, and growth of single crystal epitaxial layers should promote resistance to agglomeration. Polycrystalline TiSi2 thin films deposited on Si substrates have been observed using cross-section TEM. The micrographs provide evidence that, for these films, the grain boundary grooving mechanism is dominant and most of the modeling assumptions are valid.

The grain growth of dense, fine-grained Nd1+xBa2−xCu3Oy (x = 0.1−0.4) specimens has been examined in pure O2(g) at 938 °C and 967 °C. No detectable change in average grain size was observed for Nd1.4Ba1.6Cu3Oy within 72 h at 967 °C; however, a significant increase in average grain size developed between 18 and 24 h at 967 °C for Nd1.3Ba1.7Cu3Oy, and within 8−12 h at ≤967 °C for Nd1.2Ba1.8Cu3Oy and Nd1.1Ba1.9Cu3Oy. Microstructural analyses revealed that sudden changes in average grain size coincided with the formation of relatively large (abnormal) grains. A broadening of the grain size distribution was also observed. TEM analyses revealed that grain boundaries were free of second phases. The possible role of anisotropy in grain boundary energy and/or mobility on grain growth is discussed.

The thermal groove technique has been used to measure relative grain boundary energies in two 100 ppm Ca-doped yttria samples. The first has a normal grain size distribution and the boundaries have a bilayer of segregated Ca. In the second sample, there is a combination of large grains and small grains. The boundaries around the large grains are known to have an intergranular film. The results show that the relative energies of boundaries in the sample with normal grain growth and the boundaries around small grains far from larger grains in the second sample are similar. Also, boundaries surrounding the largest grains and small grains immediately adjacent to them have the same and significantly lower energies. The results indicate that grain boundaries with an intergranular film have a lower energy than those with bilayer segregation and that the intergranular film extends beyond the periphery of the largest grains, but not throughout the entire sample.

Mechanical attrition of intermetallic compound TiNi powder was carried out in two different ball mills and as a function of milling temperature. The microstructural changes with milling time were followed by x-ray diffraction, TEM, and DSC. The more energetic Spex shaker mill provided a higher degree of lattice strain and rapidly refined the grain size to the nanometer size regime. Amorphization was observed in the Spex mill with a linear increase in the milling time for amorphization with increasing milling temperature. No amorphization was observed in the less energetic vibratory mill, and the grain size saturated to a constant value of 15 nm after ≥60 h of milling. A critical grain size for the amorphization of 4–5 nm was estimated from the temperature dependent studies in the Spex mill. The grain boundary energy (706 mJ/m2), estimated from the vibratory mill experiments, and the above critical grain sizes (5 nm) for amorphization were used to calculate the enthalpy supplied by the nanocrystalline grain boundaries. The calculated value of 4.1 kJ/mol was comparable to the measured enthalpy of crystallization of 3.2 kJ/mol. It is concluded that the nanocrystalline grain boundary energy is responsible for driving the crystalline-to-amorphous phase transformation induced by mechanical attrition in TiNi.
