Abstract

The geometric parameters of the grain boundaries that make up triple joints and their possible combinations are studied by electron backscatter diffraction using Channel HKL5 software. It is shown experimentally that, in addition to the previously studied and fairly widespread triple joints of special grain boundaries, there are other varieties of them. It is found that at these triple junctions, in particular, the geometric combination rule is violated, which may indirectly indicate the recombination activity of special boundaries.
