Abstract

A study is made of the contribution of grain-boundary hardening to the overall hardening in a polycrystalline material on the basis of Ashby's model. Yield curves are used for copper-based solid solutions in polycrystalline and singlecrystal forms. It is shown that the contribution from statistically accumulated dislocations to the yield stress in a polycrystalline specimen reflects the behavior of the corresponding single crystal. The contribution from grain boundaries to the yield stress can be described in terms of the additional dislocation density due to the joint grain deformation in the aggregate up to high strains. At low strains, the main role in hardening of a polycrystalline material is played by the grain boundaries. This extends up to larger strains as the strain temperature is reduced and the alloy-element concentration increases.
