Abstract

The evolution of the statistical distribution of linear grain sizes during isothermal grain growth in unstrained or slightly strained pure iron specimens was investigated. A log normal distribution was confirmed to fit the data well for normal growth, and was shown to be applicable in the initial and final stages of abnormal growth. Analysis of statistical parameters of the size distributions proves that the coefficient of variation /gs¯d significantly distinguishes between abnormal and normal growth processes.
