Abstract

In this paper, we present an isothermal Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm that can be employed to simulate the grain growth in polycrystalline iron during sintering. The evolution of grain structure was simulated using a three-dimensional (3D) MC model of grain growth. Both the average grain size and the grain size distribution are calculated. The distribution of number of sides of grains and grain edges from this simulation is in good agreement with the experimental results. This paper also deals with oriented and anisotropic grain growth as well. A considerable number of input parameters in the model allow simulation of a wide variety of conditions.
