Abstract

During high-temperature annealing of accumulatively roll-bonded metallic multilayers, long straight interfaces between immiscible constituents (e.g., Cu/Nb) have been observed to evolve into a wavy shape consisting of corners and facets. To understand the underlying mechanism of such a critical phenomenon, we developed a mesoscale thermodynamic model to simulate the evolution of interface morphology. In the model, we have considered both the anisotropy of interfacial energy and the corner energy that is pertinent to the formation of facets and interfacial dislocation accumulation. Our simulation results indicate that the interface prefers to be faceted, which is in excellent agreement with the experimental observation.
