Abstract

This article outlines the importance of anisotropic interfacial properties for microstructure evolution. The anisotropic properties of interfaces profoundly affect the development of microstructure during thin film deposition, sintering, grain growth, and recrystallization, to name but a few processes. The properties of interfaces vary from mildly anisotropic, as for the energy of the solid-liquid interface, to strongly anisotropic, as in the case of diffusion rates along grain boundaries. As a companion to this set of articles on interfacial anisotropy, this article demonstrates the connection between grain boundary anisotropy, primarily in mobility, and texture development during grain growth. A Monte Carlo model is used to investigate the evolution of the so-called cube texture component during grain growth of a polycrystal in which the texture is the result of prior deformation.
