A major goal of materials science is to create new engineering
materials and optimize their cost and performance. Understanding
how adjacent materials behave at their borders is an essential part
of this process. Grain boundaries are the longest-known crystal
defects, but although they were discovered in the mid-eighteenth
century, until quite recently, we did not understand them very
well. Even now, scientists are still searching for the best ways to
comprehensively characterize a material's microstructure-and
accurately predict its evolution and behavior. Fills the gap
between the physics of grain boundary motion and its engineering
practicality Like the popular first edition, Grain Boundary
Migration in Metals: Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Applications, Second
Edition focuses extensively on the thermodynamics, kinetics, and
applications involved with individual grain boundary migration in
metals. However, this new volume adds a decade's worth of new
developments in research and methods. It offers an up-to-date
overview of current knowledge of the grain boundary migration
process, and it details how migration influences microstructural
evolution, including the recrystallization process and the creation
of new materials. The authors rely on well-defined geometry and
crystallography to address key topics such as grain growth,
textures, and the properties and behavior of grain boundaries,
particularly the nonlinear interaction of boundary elements. This
invaluable second edition: Covers the latest techniques and
computer simulations used in the study of single-grain boundary
motion and grain boundary systems with junctions Provides the
latest experimental data of grain boundary free volume measurements
and offers the first measurements of grain boundary junction line
tension Includes new problems with solutions As a solid foundation
on which you can build your understanding of the migration
phenomenon, this book should be required reading for researchers in
areas such as interface physics and materials science of
microstructure evolution and property control. It will also be
vastly useful to any professional engaged in metals production
and/or the heat treatment of metals and alloys.
