The Effect of Triple Junctions on Grain Boundary Motion and Grain Microstructure Evolution
Tóm tắt
The theory of steady state motion of grain boundary sytems with triple junctions and the main features of such systems are considered. A special technique of in-situ observations and recording of triple junction motion is introduced, and the results of experimental measurements on Zn tricrystals are discussed. It is shown, in particular, that the described method makes it possible to measure the triple junction mobility. It was found that the measured shape of a moving half-loop with a triple junction agrees with theoretical predictions. A transition from triple junction kinetics to grain boundary kinetics was observed. This means that triple junctions can drag boundary motion. It is demonstrated that the microstructural (granular) evolution is slowed down by triple junction drag for any n-sided grain. The second consequence pertains to six-sided grains. For a boundary system with dragging triple junctions there is no unique dividing line between vanishing and growing grains with respect to their topological class anymore, like n = 6 in the Von Neumann-Mullins relation.
