A Robust Numerical Method for Validating Mesoscopic Grain Boundary Sliding Controlled Flow Model for Structural Superplasticity

Article Preview

Abstract:

Structural superplasticity is observed in materials of different classes with μm–, sub–μm– or nm– grain size. In all cases mesoscopic grain/interphase boundary sliding (~ grain diameter or more) is suggested to be the rate controlling mechanism. Sub–μm grained metallic and ceramic systems are analyzed here and good agreement with experimental results is established. Compared with earlier works, the numerical procedure is more robust and the free energy of activation for the rate controlling process is matched with the value for the same obtained using Eshelby’s equation.
