| Abstract Scope |
Grain growth in polycrystals is arguably one of the most researched phenomena in metallurgy because of the profound effects it has on the microstructure of metals, including the size of the constituent grains, their crystallographic texture, and the grain boundary character distribution. Thus, controlling grain growth provides a direct pathway to tailoring materials properties and performance. In this talk, I will review the lessons learned on grain growth in thin films and show how to apply them to achieve an unprecedented level of control over the microstructure of bulk metal alloys produced using additive technologies. Specifically, I will discuss how engineering the defect density in the material can lead to controlled recrystallization, and how this strategy may be leveraged to design novel structural alloys with improved mechanical performance. |
