Abstract

Intergranular segregation is studied in the limit of infinitely diluted solution for eight dilute metallic systems made of four face centred cubic metals, one transition metal, nickel, and three noble metals, copper, silver and gold. The grain boundary (GB) chosen is the symmetrical tilt Σ = 11′ {332} 〈110〉 GB with its characteristic “zigzag” structural pattern as numerically calculated and experimentally observed by high resolution transmission electronic microscopy in nickel. The metallic interactions are modelled with Finnis-Sinclair like potentials. The atomic sites are characterised by a geometrical parameter defined with their exact Voronoï’ volumes and the tensor of the stresses locally exerted. The {332} GB presents the most diversity of sites in these respects. The segregation energies are computed and analysed versus the only two ‘driving forces’ which can play a role in metallic intergranular segregation, viz. the elastic size effect and the excess cohesion energy effect. The elastic size effect calculated by the method of virtual impurity represents the main segregation driving force in most cases of the considered systems. It is worth noting however that the excess cohesion energy effect is important for non hydrostatic or compressive sites. It can even be predominant, as in the case of Ni(Cu).
