Abstract

Kinetics of grain boundary migration have been investigated in prestrained monocrystalline specimens of aluminum in situ at temperatures ranging from 415 to 610° C by synchrotron (polychromatic) x-ray topography (SXRT). In general, new (recrystallized) grains, which nucleate at prepositioned surface indentations and subsequently grow into the prestrained matrix, transform progressively from random to faceted configurations. Analysis of corresponding migration rates as a function of temperature for several faceted boundaries yields activation energies ranging from about 56 to 105 kcal/mole, in contrast to previously reported values, obtained by repetitive cooling and reheating cycles, ranging from about 15 to 35 kcal/mole. This disparity in measured activation energy is attributed to variation of grain boundary mobility with grain boundary inclination, and ultimate survival of low-mobility (faceted) grain boundary inclinations, as a natural consequence of growth selection.
