Level set framework for the finite-element modelling of recrystallization and grain growth in polycrystalline materials
Abstract
The paper describes a level set framework for the finite-element modelling of recrystallization in polycrystalline materials, including the nucleation, primary recrystallization and grain growth stages. A set of convection- reinitialization-diffusion equations is implemented within a finite-element formulation to describe boundary motion, according to a kinetic law relating the velocity of the boundary to a thermodynamic driving force. Different theoretical test cases illustrate the potential of the method for simulations of recrystallization and grain growth following large plastic deformation and/or considering complex microstructures. © 2010 Acta Materialia Inc.

Grain boundary
In materials science, a grain boundary is the interface between two grains, or crystallites, in a polycrystalline material. Grain boundaries are two-dimensional defects in the crystal structure, and tend to decrease the electrical and thermal conductivity of the material. Most grain boundaries are preferred sites for the onset of corrosion and for the precipitation of new phases from the solid. They are also important to many of the mechanisms of creep.
Thermodynamic equilibrium
Thermodynamic equilibrium is an axiomatic concept of thermodynamics. It is an internal state of a single thermodynamic system, or a relation between several thermodynamic systems connected by more or less permeable or impermeable walls. In thermodynamic equilibrium, there are no net macroscopic flows of matter nor of energy within a system or between systems. In a system that is in its own state of internal thermodynamic equilibrium, no macroscopic change occurs.
Kinetic theory of gases
The kinetic theory of gases is a simple, historically significant classical model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established. The model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion. Their size is assumed to be much smaller than the average distance between the particles. The particles undergo random elastic collisions between themselves and with the enclosing walls of the container.
