Abstract
Solute atoms play an important role in grain boundary migration phenomena, which are critical for understanding the microstructural evolution in metals. Here we investigate the segregation of Sn at migrating boundaries during recrystallisation in a ferritic Fe-Si-Sn alloy using atom probe tomography. Experimental evidence demonstrated a solute depletion zone ahead of the moving interface. The behaviour of Sn was rationalized with the Cahn solute drag theory. A difference in segregation between two investigated migrating interfaces was observed and could be explained by a variation in either binding energy, intrinsic velocity of each interface or in driving force.
