Using grain boundary irregularity to quantify dynamic recrystallization in ice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamic recrystallization is an important mechanical weakening mechanism during the deformation of ice, yet we currently lack robust quantitative tools for identifying recrystallized grains in “migration” regime that dominates ice at temperatures close to melting point. Here, propose grain boundary irregularity as a means discriminating between (high sphericity, low irregularity) and remnant (low high grains. To this end, analysed cryogenic electron backscatter diffraction (cryo-EBSD) data deformed polycrystalline quantify dynamic using statistics. Grain has inverse relationship with sphericity parameter, Ψ , defined ratio area perimeter, divided by radius 2-D so measurement size independent. Sphericity ( ) typically decreases increasing size, up threshold above which either plateaus (at temperature, T < -10 °C) or increases much more gradually ≥ °C). There no apparent c -axis orientation even very (-4 -5 °C), where GBM dominants, suggesting little crystallographic control on activity migration (GBM). Decreasing can be explained newly-formed, small, spherical growing via strain-induced thereby developing increasingly irregular boundaries. We suggest plateau (or gradual decrease) larger sizes represents population original (i.e., grains) becomes similar rates) due balance nucleation. In interpretation, largest reached end experiment. Thus, provides grains—a capability potentially useful evaluating processes The experiment duration used calculate rates evolution associated GBM. are temperatures, rates.

Grain boundary melting in ice.
We describe an optical scattering study of grain boundary premelting in water ice. Ubiquitous long ranged attractive polarization forces act to suppress grain boundary melting whereas repulsive forces originating in screened Coulomb interactions and classical colligative effects enhance it. The liquid enhancing effects can be manipulated by adding dopant ions to the system. For all measured gra...
متن کاملGrain Boundary Sliding in Ice
It is well known that grain boundary processes intercrystdline sliding and grain boundary migration make an important contribution to high temperature deformation of polycrystalline materials, particularly for metals. More recently, these processes have been correlated with the atomic structure of the boundaries. Our goal is to study sliding and migration of ice boundaries, with respect to temp...
متن کاملDynamic Recrystallization of Ice in Polar Ice Sheets
The deformation and recrystallization mechanisms which control the viscoplasticity of ice from polar ice sheets have been investigated. The high plastic anisotropy of ice crystals is responsible for the development of a non uniform internal stress field within the polycrystal. Strain-shadows produced by sub-grain are observed in polarized light when the rotation recrystallization regime is domi...
متن کاملAbrupt grain boundary melting in ice.
The effect of impurities on the grain boundary melting of ice is investigated through an extension of Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory, in which we include retarded potential effects in a calculation of the full frequency-dependent van der Waals and Coulombic interactions within a grain boundary. At high dopant concentrations, the classical solutal effect dominates the melting behavior. ...
