Based on the method of the free energy density functional, the effect of grain boundaries on the precipitation process in binary alloys is considered. A comparative analysis of precipitation kinetics has been carried out for a single-crystal fragment of a solid solution and for a fragment containing a part of the boundary between two grains. We have found the influence of grain boundaries on the kinetics of the average radius of precipitates, their concentration, and nucleation rate for several compositions of the alloy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
