Nanotwinned polycrystals exhibit an excellent strength-ductility combination due to nanoscale twins and grains. However, nanotwin-assisted grain coarsening under mechanical loading reported in recent experiments may result in strength drop based on the Hall-Petch law. In this paper, a phase-field model is developed to investigate the effect of coupled evolutions of twin and grain boundaries on nanotwin-assisted grain growth. The simulation result demonstrates that there are three pathways for coupled motions of twin and grain boundaries in a bicrystal under the applied loading, dependent on the amplitude of applied loading and misorientation of the bicrystal. It reveals that a large misorientation angle and a large applied stress promote the twinning-driven grain boundary migration. The resultant twin-assisted grain coarsening is confirmed in the simulations for the microstructural evolutions in twinned and un-twinned polycrystals under a high applied stress.
