We present an analysis, based upon atomistic simulation data, of the effect of Fe impurities on grain boundary migration in Al. The first step is the development of a new interatomic potential for Fe in Al. This potential provides an accurate description of Al–Fe liquid diffraction data and the bulk diffusivity of Fe in Al. We use this potential to determine the physical parameters in the Cahn–Lücke–Stüwe (CLS) model for the effect of impurities on grain boundary mobility. These include the heat of segregation of Fe to grain boundaries in Al and the diffusivity of Fe in Al. Using the simulation-parameterized CLS model, we predict the grain boundary mobility in Al in the presence of Fe as a function of temperature and Fe concentration. The order of magnitude and the trends in the mobility from the simulations are in agreement with existing experimental results.

Polycrystalline Metals

Electron microscope observations on some polycrystalline metals suggest that after small to moderate deformation, recrystallization occurs by the migration of the original grain boundaries. A theory based on this mechanism can account for the known form of the recrystallization kinetics without necessarily introducing any anisotropy of grain boundary mobility. For this mechanism the so-called recrystallization activation energy is identical to the activation energy for grain boundary migration.

The results of investigations of magnetically driven grain boundary migration in high purity (99.995%) zinc bicrystals are presented. In-situ measurements were conducted by means of a specially designed and fabricated polarization microscopy probe. The migration of planar tilt grain boundaries with various misorientation angles in the range between 60° and 90° was studied. The absolute grain boundary mobility and its temperature dependence was measured in the regime between 330°C and 415°C and the corresponding migration activation parameters were determined. The results revealed that there is a pronounced misorientation dependence of grain boundary mobility in the investigated angular range. The migration activation enthalpy was found to vary between 1.18 eV and 2.15 eV. The obtained activation parameters comply with the compensation law, i.e. the migration activation enthalpy changes linearly with the logarithm of the pre-exponential factor.

Grain Boundary Motion

The motion of grain boundaries in zinc bicrystals (99.995%) driven by the “magnetic” driving force was investigated. Planar symmetrical and asymmetrical tilt grain boundaries with rotation angles in the range between 60° and 90° were examined. At a given temperature the boundary migration rate was found to increase linearly with an applied driving force. The absolute grain boundary mobility was determined. The boundary mobility and its temperature dependence were found to depend on the misorientation angle and the inclination of the boundary plane. An application of a magnetic field during the annealing of cold rolled (90%) Zn-1.1%Al sheet specimens resulted in an asymmetry of the two major texture components. This is interpreted in terms of magnetically affected grain growth kinetics.

The migration of planar grain boundaries induced by a magnetic field was measured in specially grown zinc bicrystals (99.995%). Particularly, symmetrical and asymmetrical <> tilt grain boundaries with rotation angles in the range between 60° and 90° were investigated. Boundary migration was measured in-situ in the temperature range between 330°C and 415°C and the absolute values of grain boundary mobility were obtained. The results revealed that grain boundary mobility essentially depends on the misorientation angle and the inclination of the boundary plane. An application of a magnetic field during the annealing of cold rolled (90%) Zn-1.1%Al sheet specimens substantially affected the texture and microstructure evolution. This effect is attributed to the additional magnetic driving force for grain growth arising due to the magnetic anisotropy of zinc.

Grain Boundary Migration

In this paper the migration of a grain triple junction in apure ice sample with bubbles at -5°C was studied for almost 3hs. This allowed tracking the progress of the Grain Boundary (BG) and its interaction with the bubbles. The evolution of the grain triple junction was recorded from successive photographs obtained witha LEICA® optical microscope. Simultaneously, numerical simulations were carried out using Monte Carlo to obtain some physical parameters characteristic of the BG migration on ice.

Grain Boundary Motion

Texture formation during secondary recrystallization depends on the nature of secondary recrystallization process itself. So microstructure evolution and texture development during secondary recrystallization should be discussed concurrently. The main goal of the paper is studying of the effect of internal stresses on grain boundary motion or, more generally, the interaction of grain boundaries with stress fields and the effect of deformation inhomogeniety on grain boundary mobility during secondary recrystallization. Considering transformation from normal grain growth to secondary recrystallization, the attempt was made to characterize the microstructure and to relate it to the processes of nucleation and growth of new rains. The nucleation process is heterogeneous. The data allow us to assume that the nuclei are strain free grains.
