Grain boundary and particle interaction: Enveloping and pass-through mechanisms studied by 3D phase field crystal simulations

Blixt, Kevin LU and Hallberg, Håkan LU orcid (2022) In Materials & Design 220.
Abstract
Grain boundary interaction with second-phase particles having different degrees of coherency is investigated using the phase field crystal (PFC) method. Both the enveloping and pass-through mechanisms are studied with regards to grain boundary pressure, passage time and interface evolution. It is found that coherent particles exert a stronger retardation effect on grain boundaries compared to incoherent particles, with regards to both pressure and time, but also that this benefit is limited to a small range of misfit values. The simulations also show that the mobility is not a constant during particle passage, as commonly assumed, which means that grain boundary pressure cannot easily be extracted from the grain boundary velocity....
