Grain Coarsening

Grain Coarsening is a microstructural evolution phenomenon in materials science whereby larger grains increase in size at the expense of smaller, neighboring grains through atomic diffusion and boundary migration during annealing, distinguishing it from other grain growth mechanisms by its emphasis on the reduction of total grain boundary energy via the elimination of finer grains.
