On the Structure of Grain Boundaries in Metals

  • Conference paper
Interfacial Aspects of Phase Transformations

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 87))

Abstract

The first part of this paper reviews the atomistic model proposed for the equilibrium structure of grain boundaries in metals. These models are based on dislocation, coincidence, plane matching and polyhedral unit concepts. The basic ideas and shortcomings of the various concepts are discussed. The present understanding of the structure of dislocation and vacancies (non-equilibrium defects) in grain boundaries is summarized in the second part of the chapter. The existing evidence suggests that these defects have a similar structure in low energy grain boundaries as the analogous defects in the perfect lattice. However, in high energy boundaries, the defects may be smeared out (delocalized) in the plane of the boundary.

  140. The energy density in the core of a high energy boundary is of the order of the latent heat of fusion. This energy density presents an upper limit, and, hence, the introduction of an additional dislocation in such a high energy structure can not increase the energy significantly. It has also been argued 137, 138 that the relatively low density 81, 139 of the material in the boundary should result in lower restoring forces there, and thus allow the long range strain field to reduce its energy by widening the boundary dislocation core.
