Abstract: | During the last ten years, techniques have been developed to measure the distribution of grain boundaries in polycrystals
as a function of both lattice misorientation and grain boundary plane orientation. This paper presents a brief overview of
the techniques used for these measurements and the principle findings of studies implementing these techniques. The most significant
findings are that grain boundary plane distributions are anisotropic, that they are scale invariant during normal grain growth,
that the most common grain boundary planes are those with low surface energies, that the grain boundary populations are inversely
correlated with the grain boundary energy, and that the coincident site lattice number is a poor predictor of the grain boundary
energy and population. |
