Abstract
The normal grain growth sweep constant, theta, is determined from a v olume-based continuity equation, and equivalent forms of theta are gi ven for various distribution parameters and normalization factors. A s imple algorithm to obtain theta from experimental data is also presen ted. The significance of introducing a stochastic component to the gra in growth is described, and the extension of the sweep constant concep t to particle coarsening is discussed.
