Grain growth

Pages 1136-1144 | Published online: 18 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

The processes and mechanisms controlling grain growth in crystalline solids are reviewed. The driving forces governing the overall process are considered, and a distinction is made between normal and anomalous grain growth. The influence of solutes and dispersions (soluble and insoluble, coherent and incoherent) is discussed. Recent experimental studies of grain growth in model and commercial materials are surveyed.
