Sintering, as a thermal process at elevated temperature below the melting point, is widely
used to bond contacting particles into engineering products such as ceramics, metals …

Almost all alloys of engineering importance are multicomponent in character.
Multicomponent alloys are subject to complex interplay of thermodynamic and kinetic …

Granularity is one of the most predominant structures for polycrystalline materials, from
geological compounds to technical high-performance alloys. In particular, grain structures in …

Outcomes of coarsening experiments performed in solid–liquid mixture of various Pb–Sn
systems, under microgravity, are investigated to explicate the influence of volume fraction on …

Normal grain growth in multiphase polycrystalline systems includes sluggish evolution of
minor-phase grains and relatively faster growth of the major-phase grains. Which of these …

Sintering, a well-established technique in powder metallurgy, plays a critical role in the
processing of high melting point materials. A comprehensive understanding of structural …

Choosing the correct free energy functional is critical when developing thermodynamically-
consistent phase field models. We show that the grand-potential phase field model …

A polycrystalline system corroborating experimentally observed microstructure is developed
in this paper by employing cellular automata techniques. Moreover, through appropriate …

During grain growth in multiphase system, a convincing understanding on how the evolution
kinetics of an individual phase-grains relates to the growth rate of entire microstructure is yet …
