The formation of microstructures in metallic alloys during hot metal forming involves simultaneous metallurgical complex phenomena. Traditional high-fidelity numerical frameworks used on the polycrystalline scale tend to focus on…
The front-capturing Level-Set (LS) method is widely employed in academia and industry to model grain boundary (GB) migration during the microstructure evolution of polycrystalline materials under thermo-mechanical treatments. During…
Dynamic recrystallization is one of the main phenomena responsible for microstructure evolutions during hot forming. Consequently, getting a better understanding of DRX mechanisms and being able to predict them is crucial. This paper…
A formula of grain growth rate, based on a nonlinear capillarity-driven relation, is derived to predict and interpret realistic growth processes in polycrystalline systems. The derived formula reveals how the growth and stagnation of grains…
Grain growth simulation is crucial for predicting metallic material microstructure evolution during annealing and resulting final mechanical properties, but traditional partial differential equation-based methods are computationally…
A highly efficient simulation model for 2D and 3D grain growth and recrystallization was developed based on the level-set method. The model introduces modern computational concepts to achieve excellent performance on parallel computer…
Rate of grain growth, which aides in achieving desired properties in polycrystalline materials, is conventionally estimated by measuring the size of grains and tracking its change in micrographs reflecting the temporal evolution. Techniques…
Grain growth is a ubiquitous and fundamental phenomenon observed in the cellular structures with the grain assembly separated by a network of grain boundaries, including metals and ceramics. However, the underlying mechanism of grain growth…
During grain growth in multiphase system, a convincing understanding on how the evolution kinetics of an individual phase-grains relates to the growth rate of entire microstructure is yet to be achieved. Therefore, in this work, comfortably…
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…
For over three decades, the front-capturing level-set method has demonstrated its prowess for the simulation, at the mesoscopic scale, of numerous mechanisms in the context of microstructure evolution occurring during complex…
When a metal is loaded mechanically at high temperatures, i.e. above 300 $^o$C, its grain microstructure evolves due to multiple physical mechanisms. Two of which are the curvature-driven migration of the grain boundaries due to increased…
We present a detailed comparison of multiple statistical grain metrics for previously reported experimental thin film samples of aluminum with 2D simulations obtained from the Phase-Field-Crystal (PFC) model and a Mullins grain boundary…
Grain microstructures are crucial to the mechanical properties, performance, and often lifetime of metallic components. Hence, the prediction of grain microstructures emerging from solidification processes at relevant macroscopic scale is…
Faces-classes of grains, often referred to as topological features, largely dictate the evolution of polycrystalline microstructures during grain growth. Realising these topological features is generally an arduous task, often demanding…
A new method for the simulation of evolving multi-domains problems has been introduced in previous works (RealIMotion), Florez et al. (2020) and further developed in parallel in the context of isotropic Grain Growth (GG) with no…
We review our recent modeling of crystal nucleation and polycrystalline growth using a phase field theory. First, we consider the applicability of phase field theory for describing crystal nucleation in a model hard sphere fluid. It is…
Grain growth experiments on thin metallic films have shown the geometric and topological characteristics of the grain structure to be universal and independent of many experimental conditions. The universal size distribution, however, is…
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…
Grain growth in polycrystals is traditionally considered a capillarity-driven process, where grain boundaries (GBs) migrate toward their centers of curvature (i.e., mean curvature flow) with a velocity proportional to the local curvature…
