Modelling Interface Diffusion Creep: Single Phase Insights and Two Phase Challenges
Abstract:
Numerical and analytic models for diffusion creep have commercial and geological uses. For single phase polycrystals, numerical models of interface diffusion creep illustrate how grains rotate and what the relative contributions of grain shape change and grain boundary sliding are to the overall strain. In particular they shows that an equi-axed starting material will initially show large grain angular velocities but that these slow down as grain become slightly elongate. A steady state microstructure with some grain elongation and little or no grain rotation is reached. Consequently the equi-axed grain shapes seen in superplastic deformation require additional processes for a full explanation. For two phase aggregates, the mathematical framework cannot be simply extended it breaks down as the system becomes mathematically overdetermined. Further work is required to solve this problem. If the second phase is insoluble, the mathematics can, though, be extended successfully, paving the way for models of diffusion creep with insoluble second phase particles.
