The grain growth kinetics, texture and misorientation distribution function (MDF) evolutions of a non-ferromagnetic metal sheet with isotropic and anisotropic grain boundary under magnetic field are studied using a modified two-dimensions (2D) Potts model, in which the grain boundary migration is driven by the grain boundary energy and the difference in magnetic free energy between grains and their neighbors. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the texture and MDF evolutions of materials intensively depend on the magnetic field and grain boundary anisotropy, whereas the grain boundary growth kinetics is insensitive to the magnetic field.
