A new three-dimensional Monte Carlo (MC) model in presence of pores of microstructure evolution for three-phase nano-composite ceramic tool materials is successfully established to simulate the grain growth during sintering process in this paper. The defect-free microstructure evolution and microstructure evolution in presence of pore are simulated and investigated. The results show that the new MC model can well simulate the grain growth and pores shrinkage during densification process. Compared with defect-free system, the grain growth velocity can be slow down obviously owning to the existence of pores.

Dimensional Simulation

A phase field model of three-phase composite ceramic tool materials with two kinds of nanoparticles is set up in this research. The three-dimensional simulation algorithm is modified and a new efficient algorithm is established. The microstructure evolution of three-phase nanoceramic tool materials is more efficiently and successfully simulated in 200x200x200 unit size. Microstructure evolution of single-phase and three-phase ceramic tool materials is simulated respectively. It can be found that the peak value of grain size distribution for three-phase nanoceramic tool material is smaller than average diameter. It indicates that the nanoparticles not only restrain grain boundary migration, but also prevent the elimination of small grains and refine matrix grains.

The Relationship

A modified three-dimensional Monte Carlo (MC) model in presence of pores and impurities for three-phase nanocomposite ceramic tool materials is successfully established in this paper. Pore migration by surface diffusion is incorporated into the MC model and it is applied to observe and scientific quantitative characterization of three dimensional microstructure evolution and densification process. Some modifications are applied to the simulation algorithm to improve the computing efficiency. The influence of pores on the particle and impurity loaded grain boundaries is simulated and investigated for the study of grain growth kinetics. The relationship between porosity and density is also analyzed. The results indicate that the higher the porosity is, the lower the density will be.
