Introduction

Grain Boundary Engineering

Literature survey

Surface effects

EBSD - microstructure development with depth from rolling

Effect of straining - 5%CW

Grain Boundaries

Brandon Criteria can theoretically predict GB misorientations

Special Boundaries - Sigma (fit)

Fit (sigma value)

determines degree of order

Grain Boundary Character Distribution

High Order Twin Boundaries

Twin Boundaries

Low Angle/High Angle GB

Coincident Site Lattice (CSL)

See Dr Mcleans structural materials book.

depending on misorientation angle - can predict grain boundary structure (wanatabe lecture)
