Abstract:
Based on proposed analytical model describing the thermodynamic functions of nanograin boundaries, the thermodynamic features of nanograin boundaries were introduced into the Cellular Automaton algorithm. With the hybrid model, the quantitative and visual simulations of nanograin growth have been carried out. The simulation results show that the nanograin growth kinetics is different from the normal grain growth kinetics in conventional polycrystalline materials. The nanograin growth exponent (n) is not a constant as in the polycrystalline metals which equals 2, but changes with the growing process, which has a range of 1.70-6.59. The excess free energy of the nanograin boundaries is the driving force for nanograin growth, which is closely related with the grain size. The thermodynamic features of nanograin boundaries strongly affect the energy state of the nanocrystalline materials hence the nanograin growth kinetics, as a result of the nanoscale effect. For the simulations of nanograin growth the thermodynamic features of nanocrystalline materials should be introduced.
