We have used a phase field model (a continuum equivalent of the Potts model) for studying spinodal decomposition (SD … grain boundary energies γgb of A-rich α and B-rich β phases. When γgbα<γgbβ, the decomposition process is initiated with the …. During this decomposition process, grain growth is suppressed completely due to the pinning effect of the A-rich layer at the …
