Thickness dependence of solid-state single crystal conversion in magnetostrictive Fe-Ga alloy from thin foil to thick sheet

Abnormal grain growth (AGG) is a highly promising process for solid state conversion of polycrystals into single crystals in ceramic and in-metallic materials. In this paper we investigate AGG behaviors in NbC-added Fe-Ga rolled sheets with varying thicknesses for converting polycrystalline ingots o...
