Abstract

By employing cellular automata technique, in this work, a polycrystalline system corroborating experimentally observed microstructure is developed. Moreover, through appropriate transition functions, microstructural changes accompanying dynamic recrystallization, a manufacturing technique associated with the production of wide-range of components, is simulated. The grain growth that characterises this change is analysed to explicate the trend in the temporal evolution of mean grain size and its kinetics. As opposed to a progressive increase in mean grain size, which generally typifies a conventional grain growth, in dynamic recrystallization, it is observed that the mean grain size increases and decreases sequentially, thereby rendering a oscillating pattern. A perceptive investigation of the fluctuating trend unravels individual growth events, characterised by monotonic increase in mean grain size, whose kinetics follow the third-order power law.KeywordsDynamic recrystallizationGrain growthKineticsCellular Automata
