Asymptotic Behavior in Grain Growth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Hillert’s model of grain growth consists of a drift term in size space that leads asymptotically to a distribution function and a growth exponent not often observed. Later theories introduce a diffusion term that is either assumed to dominate the drift term or a correction to it. This paper shows that the lower order drift term alone determines asymptotic grain growth behavior. A possible conclusion is that experimental results may need to be reinterpreted.
