Abstract

Based an the local equilibrium among vacancies, solute atans and vacancy-solute atom complexes, a mechanism for solute segregation to grain boundaries is suggested for a alloy system with binding energy of complex S≫kT. A set of dynamic equations for grain boundary segregation is ived, which can describe both equilibrium and nonequilibrium segregations, as the effect of the equilibrium segregation is taken into account in the bonndary condition. Theoretical calculation is made by computer for boron segregation at austenite grain boundaries as functions of isothermal holding time, cooling rate and quenching teaperature, which agree well with experimental results.
