The Effect of Temperature on the Structure of Grain Boundaries in Ni3Al with and Without Boron
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1992
Abstract
Monte Carlo computer simulations with embedded atom method potentials are used to study the structure and energy of symmetric tilt grain boundaries in Ni3Al at high temperatures and compared with those at absolute zero, which is conducted with static relaxation method. The effect of stoichiometry and boron addition on the structure and energy of grain boundary are also investigated. The simulation results show that there exists more compositional disorder at grain boundaries than in the bulk in non-stoichiometric Ni3Al with and without boron. At absolute zero the grain boundary consists of periodically distributed structural units which are distorted with the increasing temperature. The effect of temperature on the structure and energy of grain boundaries in Ni3Al with and without boron was discussed.
