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.

Less attention has been paid to study the recrystallization and grain growth behavior of severe plastically deformed (SPD) metals specially steels that are deformed to very high strain by conventional rolling method. Present work has been focused on systematic investigation of recrystallization and grain growth behavior of a Aluminium Killed (AK), an Interstitial Free (IF) and an Interstitial Free High Strength (IFHS) steels that were subjected to very high levels of strain (ԑeqv= 4.51) by cold rolling. The cold rolled steels show fine lamellar structure with very strong texture consists of both γ and α fibre. All the steels show formation of ultrafine grains and dramatic rise in the intensity of α fibre component in the early stages of annealing. However, progress of annealing for longer time leads to an increase in the mean grain size as well as γ fibre intensity. The results also indicate that the heavily cold rolled material exhibit selective growth of specific texture components.It appears that microstructure and texture is closely related to the observed phenomenon.

Grain Growth Behavior

A nanostructured 5083 Al–Mg alloy powder was subjected to various thermal heat treatments in an attempt to understand the fundamental mechanisms of recovery, recrystallization and grain growth as they apply to nanostructured materials. A low-temperature stress relaxation process associated with reordering of the grain boundaries was found to occur at 158 °C. A bimodal restructuring of the grains occurred at 307 °C for the unconstrained grains and 381 °C for the constrained grains. An approximate activation energy of 5.6 kJ/mol was found for the metastable nanostructured grains, while an approximate activation energy of 142 kJ/mol was found above the restructuring temperature.

Zirconia Content

Grain growth behavior in Al2O3 with a small amount of ZrO2 (< 5 vol%) was examined. Grain growth of Al2O3 was retarded by zirconia particles, despite the small amount of added zirconia. The fraction of the zirconia particles embedded within alumina grains (intragranular zirconia particles) increased with decreasing zirconia content and increasing sintering temperature. Grain growth inhibition of alumina in the Al2O3-ZrO2 showed good agreement with the prediction of modified Zener’s pinning effect by the zirconia particles on grain boundaries.

Nitride Precipitation

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.

Inversion boundaries (IBs) of a head-to-head or (0001)|(0001) (C+|C+) configuration bisect virtually every grain in typical commercial ZnO varistor ceramics. They are most often considered electrically inactive, and the effect on the grain growth behavior has been recently addressed. In this work, various configurations of ZnO bicrystals were prepared using different source crystals and strong barrier effects were observed in some (0001)|(0001) (C−|C−) bicrystals using crystals with higher impurity contents. The crystallographic polarity and impurity effects were systematically examined by doping C+|C+ and C−|C− bicrystals with single and double additives of Mn, Co, Ni, and Bi. Varying degrees of barrier effects including varistor-like behaviors were observed in C−|C− bicrystals depending on dopants, while C+|C+ bicrystals consistently exhibited negligible effects. Because the IBs in ZnO varistor ceramics preferentially expose C− surfaces in the grain boundaries, the superior property of commercial ZnO varistor ceramics is suggested to be assisted by the presence of IBs.

Grain Growth Behavior

Normal and abnormal grain growth has been observed in 70NbC-30Co with varying B concentrations at 1450°C and in alumina with varying impurity and additive concentrations at 1600°C -1650°C as typical systems with and without liquid matrix. The grain growth behavior depends on the roughening of the interfaces as indicated by the grain and grain boundary shapes. When 4% B is added to 70NbC-30Co, the NbC grains in Co-rich liquid matrix are spherical and undergo diffusion controlled normal growth, because the grain-liquid interface is rough. As the B concentration is decreased to 3, 2, 1, and 0%, the NbC grains become more cubic and the tendency for abnormal grain growth increases because of the step growth mechanism of the flat singular surface segments. When compacts of high purity alumina powder are sintered at 1650°C, the grain boundaries are smoothly curved, indicating their atomically rough structures. With increasing impurity content—in particular SiO2—in the alumina powder, abnormal grain growth becomes more pronounced with increasing number of flat grain boundaries. These singular grain boundaries are expected to move by a step mechanism and thus cause the abnormal grain growth. These results show that the interface roughening and hence the grain growth mode changes gradually with the additive or impurity concentrations. Therefore, the abnormal grain growth cannot be sharply distinguished from the normal grain growth as has been previously suggested in general and for alumina in particular.

Grain Growth Behavior

We systematically investigated the phase transformation and grain-growth behaviors during sintering in 2 and 3 mol% Y2O3-stabilized tetragonal ZrO2 (2Y and 3Y) and 8 mol% Y2O3-stabilized cubic ZrO2 polycrystals (8Y). In particular, grain-boundary segregation and grain-interior distribution of Y3+ ions were examined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM)- and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM)-nanoprobe X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. Above 1200°C, grain growth during sintering in 8Y was much faster than that in 2Y and 3Y. In the grain boundaries in these specimens, amorphous layers did not present; however, Y3+ ions segregated at the grain boundaries over a width of about 10 nm. The amount of segregated Y3+ ions in 8Y was significantly less than in 2Y and 3Y. This indicates that the amount of segregated Y3+ ions is related to grain growth behavior; i.e., an increase in segregated Y3+ ions retards grain growth. Therefore, grain-growth behavior during sintering can be reasonably explained by the solute-drag mechanism of Y3+ ions segregating along the grain boundary. In 2Y and 3Y, the cubic-phase regions were formed in grain interiors adjacent to the grain boundaries and/or the multiple junctions in which Y3+ ions segregated, which can be explained by a grain boundary segregation-induced phase transformation (GBSIPT) mechanism.
