| Abstract |
The current study aims to improve our fundamental understanding of solute segregation
and solute drag on migrating grain boundaries (GB) in three dimensions. Computer simulation
combines finite difference and finite element methods. An exemplary case study is reported, in
which a spherical grain is embedded inside a cubic grain and shrinks as a result of motion by
curvature, as a preliminary to modeling grain growth in single phase materials. The results agree
qualitatively with literature studies in 1-D. |
