Size Scatter of Disperse Particles: Influence on Grain Growth

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Numerical simulation has disclosed a strong influence of the size distribution of fine particles on grain growth in polycrystalline materials. It is shown that growth of its width causes lowering of the time exponent in the kinetic equation of normal grain growth and reduction of the incubation period of abnormal grain growth.
