Grain boundary engineering (GBE) is a thermomechanical processing strategy to enhance
the physical and mechanical properties of polycrystalline metals by purposely incorporating …

For every class of polycrystalline materials, the scientific study of grain boundaries as well as
the increasingly widespread practice of grain boundary engineering rely heavily on visual …

The impact of grain size on hydrogen diffusion and trapping mechanisms has been
investigated for a wide range of grain size of non-textured pure nickel. Both aspects depend …

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 effects of process parameters, pre-strain, annealing temperature, time, etc. on grain
boundary character distribution (GBCD) and intergranular corrosion in thermomechanical …

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 …

Grain boundaries are a main feature of crystalline materials. They play a key role in
determining the properties of materials, especially when grain size decreases and even …

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) causes engineering alloys to fracture unexpectedly, often at
considerable economic or environmental cost. Inaccurate predictions of component lifetimes …
