Grain Boundary Sliding at Serrated Grain Boundaries

Grain Boundary Sliding at Serrated Grain Boundaries A constitutive model is developed for grain boundary sliding (GBS) at serrated grain boundaries. Based on a previously developed GBS model, using the dynamics of grain boundary dislocation pile-up, the present model takes the average of the sliding rate over the characteristic dimensions of grain boundary serrations. Thus, a geometric factor φ is introduced to account for the effects of serration wave length and amplitude on the GBS rate, as compared to the GBS rate at planar boundaries. By considering the role of grain boundary shear stress in stress balancing, the proposed model removes the singularity at planar boundaries which exists in the diffusion-controlled GBS model at serrated grain boundaries. The modified model describes very well the transient creep of complex Ni-base superalloys with and without grain boundary serrations and should be suitable for other engineering alloys (with the exception of columnar grained and single crystal alloys). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advanced Performance Materials Springer Journals

Abstract

A constitutive model is developed for grain boundary sliding (GBS) at serrated grain boundaries. Based on a previously developed GBS model, using the dynamics of grain boundary dislocation pile-up, the present model takes the average of the sliding rate over the characteristic dimensions of grain boundary serrations. Thus, a geometric factor φ is introduced to account for the effects of serration wave length and amplitude on the GBS rate, as compared to the GBS rate at planar boundaries. By considering the role of grain boundary shear stress in stress balancing, the proposed model removes the singularity at planar boundaries which exists in the diffusion-controlled GBS model at serrated grain boundaries. The modified model describes very well the transient creep of complex Ni-base superalloys with and without grain boundary serrations and should be suitable for other engineering alloys (with the exception of columnar grained and single crystal alloys).
