The kinetic dissolution and diffusion regimes of liquid grooving of grain boundaries with zero (or near-zero) dihedral angle at the top are discussed, and their perdominance criteria formulated. A new model of liquid grooving is proposed, according to which the top of the channel propagates in a dif

AbstractΓThe unusual topographies of the grain boundary thermal grooves in Ni-rich NiAl were observed after annealing at 14008C. One of the surfaces forming the grain boundary groove exhibited no curvature measurable in the atomic force microscope, thus indicating its singular character. The theory of grain boundary grooving at singular surfaces was developed in the small-slope approximation and under assumption of negligible diusivity on these surfaces. The calculated groove shapes are in good agreement with the experimental data and dier considerably from the shapes predicted by the classical Mullins grooving theory for isotropic surfaces.

In an earlier paper the diffusion equation associated with grain boundary grooving was solved and it was concluded that surface diffusion was the dominant transport mechanism for copper. For this mechanism the theory predicts that the shape of the groove profile has a time independent form and that
A vertical grain boundary intercepting a horizontal free surface forms a groove to reduce the combined surface energy of the system. The groove grows with time and is commonly used for measuring surface diffusion coefficients. This work studies grooving by capillarity-driven surface diffusion with s
