Abstract

Both isotropic and anisotropic single-phase grain growth processes modeled using a modified Monte Carlo method exhibit parabolic growth kinetics, and the anisotropy degree affects only the rate of change of the mean grain area. In some cases, with significantly anisotropic grain boundary energies, the normalized grain size distributions are not time-invariant during the lattice evolution.
