Remarks on a Multiscale Approach to Grain Growth in Polycrystals Katayun Barmak Abstract: Nearly all technologically useful materials are polycrystalline. Their ability to meet system level specifications of performance and reliability is influenced by the types of grain boundaries present and their connectivity. To engineer the grain boundary network to achieve these objectives, we seek predictive models of growth at various mesoscale levels. Here we discuss a master equation description of normal grain growth derived from large scale simulations and compare the results with recent experiments. Get the paper in its entirety as |
