Texture Development During Grain Growth

Misorientation texture development during grain growth. Part II: Theory

A critical event model for the evolution of numberand area-weighted misorientation distribution functions (MDFs) during grain growth is proposed. Predictions from the model are compared to numberand area-weighted MDFs measured in Monte Carlo simulations with anisotropic interfacial properties and several initial orientation distributions, as well as a dense polycrystalline magnesia sample. The ...

Abnormal Grain Growth and Texture Development

A theory for abnormal grain growth (AGG) in polycrystalline materials is revisited and extended in order to predict AGG in textured polycrystals. The motivation for the work is to improve our understanding of the origins of the Goss texture component, {110}<001>, during annealing of Fe-Si sheet. Since the AGG phenomenon in grain-oriented electrical steels is known to be dependent on the presenc...

Sensitivity of Texture Development during Grain Growth to Anisotropy of Grain Boundary Properties

Misorientation texture development during grain growth. Part I: Simulation and experiment

Grain growth in two and three dimensions with anisotropic interfacial properties was simulated using the Monte Carlo method. The relative effects of grain boundary energy and mobility anisotropy on numberand area-weighted misorientation distribution functions (MDFs) were compared. Results indicate that energy anisotropy has a measurable effect on misorientation texture development, while mobili...

Texture and Grain Growth in Nanocrystalline Permalloy

The texture evolution accompanied by grain growth was investigated in a nanocrystalline Fe-78wt%Ni alloy, namely permalloy fabricated by using an electrodeposition method. The as-deposited specimen revealed a strong <100>//ND and a weak <111>//ND fibre-type textures. Grain growth took place during annealing beyond 370°C and resulted in the texture change such that the <111>//ND fibre strongly d...
