Effect of elastic strain energy on grain growth and texture in AZ31 magnesium alloy by phase-field simulation Project supported by the National Key Research Development Program of China (Grant No. 2016YFB0701204) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Nos. U1302272 and 51571055). |
Comparison between simulated grain growths using (a) two- and (b) three-dimensional models for AZ31 alloy annealed under an applied stress of 400 MPa for 60 min at 673 K, and (c) cross-sectional view at the red dotted line shown in panel (b) (i.e., a three-dimensional model expressed in two dimensions). |
