The distribution of grains plays a crucial role in determining the strength of polycrystalline
copper when the grain size is constant. Herein, the mechanical properties of homogeneous …

Percolating porosity as a specific type of deformation-induced was discovered in ultrafine-
grained (UFG) Cu produced by equal channel angular pressing (Ribbe et al., Phys Rev Lett …

The objective of the present study was to investigate the suppression of grain-boundary
sliding and its accommodation at triple junctions. Tricrystals of pure aluminum and pure …

The grain structure in a one phase system involves grain boundaries (surfaces), three-grain
junctions (lines) and four-grain junctions (points). A certain Gibbs energy and mobility can …

The shape of a 90°⟨ 112⟩ tilt boundary in bismuth and a boundary in zinc bicrystals was
analyzed, which had developed during annealing at elevated temperatures when the …

The kinetics of triple-junctions (TJs) in eutectic solidification is modeled by the
thermodynamic extremum principle (TEP). It consists of two parts. First, TJs as the interaction …

Eutectic orientation relationships (EORs) in an undercooled Ni− 38wt.% Si alloy were
analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction. A total of seven EORs were identified, and three …

The Herring condition is known as the stability condition for a junction line, but the stability
conditions for junction points are not readily available. This paper derives stability conditions …

Triple lines are the lines of intersection of three interfaces, either external interfaces or
internal interfaces of a bulk material. They have been recognized as important …

The major objective of the present study was to investigate the creep fracture process of a
copper tricrystal having⟨ 110⟩-tilt Σ3, 3, 9 grain boundaries. Creep tests at 0.81 TM (TM …
