Advantages conferred by the mobility and energy of the grain boundary in inducing abnormal grain growth (AGG) were compared by three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations. The percentage of high-mobility or low-energy grain boundaries between the potential grain for AGG and the other grains was varied. The simulation results showed that the minimum percentage of high-mobility grain boundaries required to induce AGG is 50%, whereas that of low-energy grain boundaries needed to induce AGG is 20%.
