Two finite element level-set (FE-LS) formulations are compared for the modeling of grain growth of 316L stainless steel in terms of grain size, mean values and histograms. Two kinds of microstructures are considered, some are generated…
We propose to incorporate grain boundary (GB) anisotropy in phase-field modeling by extending the standard partial differential equations formulation to include a nonlocal functional of an orientation field. Regardless of the number of…
Grain growth in polycrystals is one of the principal mechanisms that take place during heat treatment of metallic components. This work treats an aspect of the anisotropic grain growth problem. By applying the first principles of…
We study the dynamics and morphology of grain growth with anisotropic energy and mobility of grain boundaries using a generalized phase field model. In contrast to previous studies, both inclination and misorientation of the boundaries are…
Grain growth is a well-known and complex phenomenon occurring during annealing of all polycrystalline materials. Its numerical modeling is a complex task when anisotropy sources such as grain orientation and grain boundary inclination have…
Abnormal grain growth (AGG) influences the properties of polycrystalline materials; however, the underlying mechanisms, particularly the role of solute segregation at the grain boundary (GB), are difficult to quantify precisely. This study…
This paper investigates the statistical behavior of two-dimensional grain microstructures during grain growth under anisotropic grain boundary characters. We employ the threshold-dynamics method, which allows for unparalleled computational…
Microstructural evolution in structural materials is known to occur in response to mechanical loading and can often accommodate substantial plastic deformation through the coupled motion of grain boundaries (GBs). This can produce desirable…
Anisotropy of interfacial energy is the principal driving force for material microstructure evolution yet its origins remain uncertain and a quantitative description lacking. We present and justify a concise hypothesis on the topography and…
A continuum grain boundary model is developed that uses experimentally measured grain boundary energy data as a function of misorientation to simulate idealized grain boundary evolution in a 1-D grain array. The model uses a continuum…
Grain structure plays a key role in the mechanical properties of alloy materials. Engineering the grain structure requires a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of grain boundaries (GBs) when a material is subjected to various…
A threshold dynamics model of grain growth that accounts for the anisotropy in the grain boundary energy has been used to simulate experimentally observed grain growth of polycrystalline Ni. The simulation reproduces several aspects of the…
We address a three-dimensional, coarse-grained description of dislocation networks at grain boundaries between rotated crystals. The so-called amplitude expansion of the phase-field crystal model is exploited with the aid of finite element…
Grain boundaries (GBs) govern critical properties of polycrystals. Although significant advancements have been made in characterizing minimum energy GBs, real GBs are seldom found in such states, making it challenging to establish…
A complete theoretical presentation of the Continuum-mechanical, Anisotropic Flow model, based on an anisotropic Flow Enhancement factor (CAFFE model) is given. The CAFFE model is an application of the theory of mixtures with continuous…
The gradient crystal plasticity framework of Wulfinghoff et al. [53] incorporating an equivalent plastic strain and grain boundary yielding, is extended with additional grain boundary hardening. By comparison to averaged results from many…
Grain boundaries (GBs) often control the processing and properties of polycrystalline materials. Here, a potentially transformative research is represented by constructing GB property diagrams as functions of temperature and bulk…
Plastic deformation in polycrystals is governed by the interplay between intra-granular slip and grain boundary-mediated plasticity. However, while the role played by bulk dislocations is relatively well-understood, the contribution of…
Angular resolved measurements of the exchange bias field and the coercive field are a powerful tool to distinguish between different competing magnetic anisotropies in polycrystalline exchange bias layer systems. No simple analytical model…
The plastic events occurring during the process of intergranular fracture in metals is still not well understood due to the complexity of grain boundary (GB) structures and their interactions with crack-tip dislocation plasticity. By…
