Résumé

A high-temperature anelastic relaxation peak in the mechanical loss spectrum of 18-carat yellow gold polycrystals is analysed and interpreted as due to grain boundary sliding accommodated predominantly by elastic deformation of the grains. The characteristic time scale of the relaxation process tvaries with the grain size d, and the grain size exponent is found to be m = 1.09 +/- 0.10 which is in perfect accord with the Zener model that attributes a grain boundary relaxation to viscous sliding along the grain boundaries.

Joint de grains

Un joint de grains est l'interface entre deux cristaux de même structure cristalline et de même composition, mais d’orientation différente. vignette|Microstructure de VT22 () après trempe. L'échelle est en micromètres. vignette|Schéma d'un joint de grain, dont les atomes communs à deux cristaux (orange et bleu) sont représentés en vert. Les joints de grains peuvent se former dans deux cas de figure : lors de la solidification du matériau et par recristallisation, durant certains traitements thermomécaniques.

Abnormal grain growth

Abnormal or discontinuous grain growth, also referred to as exaggerated or secondary recrystallisation grain growth, is a grain growth phenomenon through which certain energetically favorable grains (crystallites) grow rapidly in a matrix of finer grains resulting in a bimodal grain size distribution. In ceramic materials this phenomenon can result in the formation of elongated prismatic, acicular (needle-like) grains in a densified matrix with implications for improved fracture toughness through the impedance of crack propagation.

Loi de Hall-Petch

In materials science, grain-boundary strengthening (or Hall–Petch strengthening) is a method of strengthening materials by changing their average crystallite (grain) size. It is based on the observation that grain boundaries are insurmountable borders for dislocations and that the number of dislocations within a grain has an effect on how stress builds up in the adjacent grain, which will eventually activate dislocation sources and thus enabling deformation in the neighbouring grain as well.
