The processes of grain boundary migration, pore drag and pore/boundary separation are described on the basis of the phenomenological equations for boundary migration and surface diffusion. Cylindrical pores on triple grain junctions are assumed to represent the open porosity during intermediate-stage sintering. It is found that cylindrical pores can hardly detach from migrating boundaries. Three-dimensional closed pores, however, which predominate during final stage sintering, can separate from migrating grain junctions. The separation process is modelled numerically and the conditions for separation are formulated. Analytical approximations for the pore mobility are shown to describe the numerical results well. They serve to establish effective mobilities of grain boundaries bearing pores in various configurations. Classical theories of grain coarsening are modified by using these effective mobilities. Mechanical constitutive models of sintering contain the grain size as an internal variable. The present analysis leads to an evolution equation for the average grain size, which depends on the volume fraction of the pores and on their configuration. 相似文献

Quantitative paths of microstructural change, represented as a variation of topological and metric properties with pore volume
fraction, were experimentally determined by applying quantitative microscopy to sequences of samples sintered without compaction
from two size fractions of spherical copper powder, and one size fraction of dendritic copper powder. The two spherical size
fractions followed paths of microstructural change during sintering that were identical except for a scale factor. The connectivity
of the pore network first increased slightly, then decreased, reaching zero at a pore volume fraction (V
V
) of about 0.08. Isolated pores begin to appear atV
V
= 0.20, and increased in number. The area of the pore-solid interface at first decreased slowly, then more rapidly and ultimately
linearly with pore volume fraction, as has been reported in other systems. Total curvature of pore-solid interface decreased
from the positive value characteristic of the loose powder stack to a negative value, passed through a minimum, and increased
toward zero as full density is approached. The area of grain boundary initially increased slowly, as interparticle contacts
grew; at aboutV
V
= 0.15, grain growth set in, and the grain boundary area decreased, as the mean grain intercept rapidly increased with densification.
The dendritic powder had a highly irregular surface shape, and consequently a loose stack structure containing more than 90
pct porosity. The path that it followed was qualitatively, but not quantitatively, similar to that observed for the spherical
powders.
These observations are discussed in terms of the unit geometric processes that dominate each of the three stages of loose
stack sintering. 相似文献

A model of pore or other second phase inhibited grain growth has been developed based on shape independent stereologically measurable parameters such as pore surface area and the degree of pore/grain boundary contact. The model prediction of a linear relationship between pore surface area and the inverse of the grain size was observed experimentally with sintered copper, tungsten, Al2O3 and UO2. The model also quantifies the conditions for pore controlled grain growth and pore separation in terms of the pore and grain boundary mobilities and grain boundary curvature and provides a means for quantifying pore mobility from grain growth studies on porous and dense materials. 相似文献

A theory of grain boundary motion in the presence of mobile particles is put forward. It is shown that the boundary-particle-interaction leads to a hysteresis in the velocity-driving relationship. The extent of the hysteresis depends on particle mobility, which is very sensitive to particle size. The effect of particles is discussed for planar and curved boundaries as well as volume particle distributions. The theory accounts for a smaller limiting grain size during grain growth than predicted by Zener drag. The concept can be generalized to include all kinds of mobile obstacles for boundary migration. In such cases not the distribution of obstacle spacing rather the distribution of obstacle mobilities will control microstructure evolution. 相似文献

Analogous to the viscous-flow principle in rheology, a densification model is developed for super-solidus liquid phase sintering
(SLPS). The presence of a threshold value of the liquid film along the grain boundary and its influence on the onset of densification
is analyzed. The liquid film thickness is affected by the grain size and liquid volume fraction. Both change with temperature
during constant heating, thereby influencing the densification process due to particle rearrangementvia grain frag-mentation. Two cases of densification, one using a constant heating rate and the other under iso-thermal conditions,
are discussed. The present model is in good conceptual agreement with the viscous flow-induced densification mechanism and
provides a sound basis for a quantitative study of shrinkage behavior in SLPS. 相似文献

Average grain boundary migration rates during recrystallization of cold-deformed copper were estimated from stereological
measurements. In the same material, the instantaneous driving forces for boundary migration during recrystallization were
calculated from calorimetric measurements of the release of the stored energy of cold work. The migration rate dependence
on driving force was analyzed in the context of grain boundary migration rate theory, and within experimental error, a linear
dependence was observed. The average mobility of grain boundaries migrating during recrystallization of cold-worked copper
at 121°C was calculated to be 6.31×10−10 (m4 s−1 MJ−1). This result was found to be consistent with single boundary, curvature-driven grain boundary mobilities measured in copper
at higher temperatures. It was also demonstrated that the average grain boundary mobility was reasonably within the expectation
(order of magnitude uncertainty) of the Turnbull single process model of boundary migration with a process akin to grain boundary
self-diffusivity as the rate-controlling atomic mechanism. 相似文献

Activated solid-state sintering relies on the addition of low concentrations of grain boundary segre-gating species to increase
diffusion rates. In this article, enhanced diffusion through an activated layer at the grain boundaries has been modeled for
the case of tungsten sintered with transition element additions. Both constant heating rates and isothermal sintering are
considered. As in classical treatments, sintering is divided into three stages, but modifications are proposed based on recent
observations and theories regarding packing coordination, pore morphology, pore location, grain growth, and pore-grain boundary
separation. The intermediate and final stages of sintering are al-lowed to overlap based on the amount of closed porosity
to account for both pore closure early in the process and the gradual increase in packing coordination with densification.
Mean curvature theory is used to estimate pore curvature during the intermediate stage of sintering. In the final stage, pores
are modeled on both the corners of a tetrakaidecahedron and on its square facets. The pore location has only a small effect
on densification, while the grain boundary mobility is more of a factor. The model allows pore-grain boundary separation to
match experimentally measured grain sizes. The model predictions are compared to dilatometer curves of pure tungsten and tungsten
sintered with additions of Co, Fe, Ni, and Pd. For the Co- and Fe-activated samples, the model is modified to account for
an increase in diffusional activation energy due to dissolution of the activator in tungsten.

In this study, nanostructured Al 5083 powders, which were prepared via cryomilling, were consolidated using spark plasma sintering
(SPS). The influence of processing conditions, e.g., the loading mode, starting microstructure (i.e., atomized vs cryomilled powders), sintering pressure, sintering temperature, and powder particle size on the consolidation response and
associated mechanical properties were studied. Additionally, the mechanisms that govern densification during SPS were discussed
also. The results reported herein suggest that the morphology and microstructure of the cryomilled powder resulted in an enhanced
densification rate compared with that of atomized powder. The pressure-loading mode had a significant effect on the mechanical
properties of the samples consolidated by SPS. The consolidated compact revealed differences in mechanical response when tested
along the SPS loading axis and radial directions. Higher sintering pressures improved both the strength and ductility of the
samples. The influence of grain size on diffusion was considered on the basis of available diffusion equations, and the results
show that densification was attributed primarily to a plastic flow mechanism during the loading pressure period. Once the
final pressure was applied, power law creep became the dominant densification mechanism. Higher sintering temperature improved
the ductility of the consolidated compact at the expense of strength, whereas samples sintered at lower temperature exhibited
brittle behavior. Finally, densification rate was found to be inversely proportional to the particle size. 相似文献

Grain growth, defined as the increase in volume of the average grain, is found, in its steadystate, to be directly proportional
to the time of isothermal annealing. During steady-state grain growth the grain corners are found all to be quadruple points,
the grain edges all triple lines and the ratio of corners to faces to edges to be 6:7:12. The rate constant for steady-state
grain growth is shown to be calculable from first principles and from properties that can be measured independently of the
growth observation. It is the product of four individual constants, namely: 1) a dimensionless topological constant ⊝ that
is characteristic of steady-state grain growth in any material, 2) the mobility ώ of the average grain boundary in the specific
material, 3) the surface tension y of the average grain boundary in the specific material and 4) a dimensionless structural
constant σ which expresses the curvature of surface of the grain boundary in the array of grain forms obtaining in the specific
specimen of the material and which can be determined metallographically. The topological changes that constitute steady-state
growth are shown to exist as a logical sequence of simple events.

We consider the effect of a chemisorbing surface reaction poison on the transition from internal to external oxidation for
a model binary alloy subject to selective oxidation. We solve the diffusion equations for internal oxidation, using the rate
of a surface reaction as a boundary condition. The gas-phase concentration of a strongly chemisorbing poison appears in the
analysis through its retarding effect on that surface reaction. It is shown that the slow surface reaction can promote the
formation of a protective oxide scale by slowing down the initial uptake of oxygen and allowing metal atoms with the highest
oxygen affinity sufficient time to diffuse to the surface. As a result, a larger volume fraction of oxide forms near to the
surface (with that volume fraction initially inversely proportional to the rate of the surface reaction), and the critical
volume fraction required for the transition to an external scale is more easily exceeded.

The retardation of grain boundary migration by a pore is analysed numerically and by an analytical approximation, which becomes exact in the limiting case of small velocities. At high velocities, the numerical solution describes separation of the pore from the boundary. Based on the analysis of a single migrating boundary facet dragging a pore, evolution equations for the grain size and the porosity are suggested for the final stage of sintering. It turns out that three-dimensional pores on two-grain junctions have an only moderate effect on the rate of grain coarsening: pores with a high mobility follow the migrating grain boundary easily, while those with a low mobility detach from the boundary. It is also shown that a two-dimensional pore does not detach and can therefore reduce the coarsening rate to very low values if the pore mobility is low. This strong dependence on the pore configuration suggests that other possible configurations need to be analysed, before final evolution equations can be formulated. 相似文献

The data of Rhines and Craig (RC) (Met Trans., 1974, vol. 5, pp. 413-25) are partially reinterpreted. For the first regime of grain growth, average grain volume is proportional
to time, in accordance with RC, but for the second, it is proportional to the three-halves power of time. The structural factor
σ is found to be constant only in the first regime, and its value is redetermined from the data to be about 2.65. Theoretical
derivations of this value are also given and are found to be related to grain form (e.g. a tetrakaidecahedron). Grain boundary motion in the second regime is controlled by drag due to lattice diffusion of solute
atoms from the boundary, and an activation energy of about 27 kcal/mole (113 kJ/mole) for this process is calculated from
the data. 相似文献

The fracture kinetics of Al-5.5 Zn-2.5 Mg alloys submersed in 3 pct NaCl-H2O solutions were varied by heat treatment. The steady state velocity, on a plot of velocity vs stress intensity, was compared
with microstructure and it was found to be inversely proportional to the volume of MgZn2 in the grain boundary. This behavior suggests that grain boundary precipitates can act as sacrificial anodes to retard intergranular
stress corrosion cracking.

Densification via liquid-phase sintering generally requires transport of substantial amounts of dissolved solid through the liquid. However,
in composite systems, such as W-Cu, solid solubility in the liquid is almost negligible, and densification is hindered by
the low amount of total mass transport. In this case, solid-state sintering of the skeletal solid structure in the presence
of the liquid is a significant densification mechanism. In this article, the relative contributions to densification of both
liquid and solid mass transport mechanisms are considered. A computer simulation is constructed to predict the densification
behavior and concurrent microstructural development of liquidphase sintered composites for realistic heating cycles. Governing
differential equations for densification are derived from idealized models of the microstructure, considering grain size,
diffusion distance from vacancy source to sink, pore size, and pore morphology. Temperature-dependent terms, including the
diffusivity, solubility, and surface energy, govern densification and microstructural parameters, such as the grain size,
dihedral angle, and contiguity. Predictions for the sintered density, grain size, and contiguity are compared to experimental
results for the W-Cu and W-Cu-Ni systems with approximately 20 vol pct liquid. For W-Cu, which has almost no intersolubility,
solid-state sintering of W in the presence of liquid Cu is the dominant densification mechanism. Nickel additions increase
solid solubility in the liquid and improve typical liquid-phase sintering contributions to densification. Alternatively, high
sintered densities can be achieved in the absence of solubility with a sufficiently small particle size due to the solid-state
contribution. 相似文献

Coarsening of the grains and pores during sintering has a pronouncedly negative effect on the densification of prealloyed brass powder compacts. This investigation examines the role of sintering variables in realising the complicated effects on densification and microstructure. Experiments were designed to model and evaluate the effect of sintering parameters such as temperature, time and furnace atmosphere on densification, grain and pore intercept as well as pore number. The study of microstructures suggests that there is a good correlation between grain and pore intercepts. It is concluded that pore coarsening is a result of supersolidus liquid phase sintering of Cu28Zn powder, and it can retard densification, which is in acceptable agreement with the experimental data. 相似文献

The effects of sulfur content (0.004 or 0.013 pct) and sulfide morphology (stringered or globular) on anisotropy of tensile
ductility and Charpy shelf energy were investigated in a series of 0.1 and 0.2 pct carbon, 1.0 pct manganese steels. The effect
of sulfide inclusions on fracture strain or Charpy shelf energy correlated with the projected area of inclusions per unit
volume,A
v
, on a plane perpendicular to the tensile direction and the mean free distance between inclusions, λ, in a direction parallel
to the tensile direction regardless of the amount or the shape of the inclusions or the test direction: longitudinal, transverse,
or through-thickness. The magnitude ofA
v
is directly proportional to the volume fraction of inclusions and inversely proportional to the inclusion dimension parallel
to the tensile direction. The mean free distance, λ, is inversely proportional toA
v
. Approximate relations were obtained for the nearest-neighbor distances between inclusions on the longitudinal, transverse,
and through-thickness planes. These distances were incorporated into a model for ductile fracture based on an adaptation of
a previously proposed criterion for the linkage of voids nucleated at second-phase particles. The agreement between the observed
and predicted fracture strains for longitudinal, transverse, and through-thickness specimens of the steels studied is encouraging.
