Abstract

Preannealing is found to alter the time cycle of grain growth in lead and lead-tin alloys by modifying the kinetics of grain boundary migration. Aging at a low temperature prior to annealing at a high temperature shows the influence of residual strains in the early stage of grain growth. A model is proposed to explain the deviation of the growth kinetics from the theoretical t1/2 law when the samples are annealed immediately after primary recrystallization in terms of a superposition of a strain-induced and a surface tension-induced grain boundary migration. Preannealing by using multiple anneals at the same temperature enables simulation of many different alloys by changing the amount of impurities segregated at grain boundaries. In zone refined material, a good agreement between the Cahn theory and the experimental results is observed; in lead-tin alloys, grain growth kinetics are understood in terms of a superposition of the influences of the solute and of other lattice defects.
