lt is difficult to get hold the behave of growth of cavity which nucleates in grain boudaly in experimental observation. lt is considerd that numerical simulation is effective for the grasp of behave of cavity growth, because it is able to grasp the microscopic behavior of internal material whici is hardly observation. We examine the factor that the diffusive ratio and the stress etc., affected growth of cavity on grain boundary with numerical simulation using diffusive equation. As the result, a following knowledge was obtained. (1)With dominant of grain boundary diffusion, the shape of cavity transitions from quasi-equilibrium to crac-like. ln other hand, with dominant of surface diffusion, cavity grows up with initial shape. (2)With dominate of grain boundary diffusion, it accelerates the growth rate of the cavity near the tip by grain boundaly diffusion induced stressing perpendicular to gain boundary (3)With dominant of surface diffusion, the distribution of chemical potential is uniformity on cavity surface. ln other hand, with dominant of grain boundary diffusion compare to that of surface diffusion, the gradient of chemical potential is increased at the tip of cavity.
