The impact of faceting on the motion of a high-angle grain boundary (GB) in Zn was studied.
The steady-state motion of a [101¯ 0] tilt GB half-loop was recorded in situ. Above 673K the …

The shape evolution and migration of< 100> and< 111> tilt grain boundaries with rotation
angles θ in the range between 6° and 24° were investigated in situ in a scanning electron …

The mechanism of serrated grain boundary formation and its effect on liquation behaviour
have been studied in a wrought nickel-based superalloy–Alloy 263. It was newly discovered …
