Abstract

A modified three-dimensional Monte Carlo (MC) model in presence of pores and impurities for three-phase nanocomposite ceramic tool materials is successfully established in this paper. Pore migration by surface diffusion is incorporated into the MC model and it is applied to observe and scientific quantitative characterization of three dimensional microstructure evolution and densification process. Some modifications are applied to the simulation algorithm to improve the computing efficiency. The influence of pores on the particle and impurity loaded grain boundaries is simulated and investigated for the study of grain growth kinetics. The relationship between porosity and density is also analyzed. The results indicate that the higher the porosity is, the lower the density will be.
