Significant abnormal grain growth has been observed in an Al-3.5 wt.% Cu alloy at temperatures where the volume fraction of small CuAl 2 particles was less than about 0.01. The initial fine-grained material had a weak crystallographic texture and there was no indication that any special boundaries w

✦ Synopsis
Grain growth and particle coarsening in Al-3.5Cu at a temperature of 450 °C has been studied. Plastic deformation of this Zenerpinned system at strain rates of 10 À3 and 10 À4 s À1 led to an increase in both the grain growth and particle coarsening rates. The results of mechanical tests and metallography, including in situ studies, showed that the material was deforming primarily by intragranular slip. The dynamic grain growth was ascribed to the geometric effect of deformation on the Zener pinning, and the rate sensitivity of the growth to the dynamic particle coarsening. The principal effect of deformation on particle coarsening was concluded to be increased diffusion due to the dislocation content.

## Growth laws are derived for coplanar spherical caps and discs of constant height which are coarsening via surface diffusion. The analysis includes the effects of anisotropic particle/ substrate interface energies. These results are also extended to analysis of normal and secondary grain growth
