In recent years, a great effort has been devoted to developing a new generation of materials
for aeronautic applications. The driving force behind this effort is the reduction of costs, by …

In 1984,'grain boundary design', later known as 'grain boundary engineering (GBE)', was
proposed. The central premise of GBE is that specific thermomechanical treatments, mainly …

This overview reports the fundamental concepts of grain boundary engineering (GBE)
accompanied by a critical appraisal of GBE investigations. The main conclusions are as …

The feasibility of using “grain-boundary engineering” techniques to reduce the susceptibility
of a metallic material to intergranular embrittlement in the presence of hydrogen is …

The texture and grain boundary structure of recrystallized materials are dependent upon the
character of the deformed matrix and the selective nucleation and growth of crystallites from …

Abstract A 99.995% pure Ni sample, compressed to 25%, was annealed in a SEM chamber
and changes in the density of annealing twins were monitored in situ during recrystallization …

This comprehensive overview of the whole field of fatigue and fracture of metallic materials
covers both the theoretical background and some of the latest experimental techniques. It …

A critical evaluation of recrystallization vs. strain induced boundary migration (SIBM) as the
mechanism responsible behind the grain boundary engineering (GBE) in alloy 617 is made …

The objective of this research is to use atomistic simulations to investigate the energy and
structure of symmetric and asymmetric Σ3⟨ 110⟩ tilt grain boundaries. A nonlinear …

The greatly increased grain boundary (GB) mobility in nanograined metals under
mechanical loading is distinguished from that in their coarse-grained counterparts. The …
