We used a three-dimensional Monte Carlo method to investigate subgrain growth with different initial values for average grain-boundary misorientation, and found that abnormal grain growth emerges for relatively large average misorientation, with remaining cases revealing an exponential kinetics of subgrain growth. We also found that the growth exponent was ˜4.4, and that it was virtually independent of the average misorientation. Self-similarity of the misorientation distribution was observed during growth.
