Abstract

The grain size dependence of the grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) has been discussed in order to understand and predict grain boundary-controlled properties and performance of nanocrystalline materials. From the observation of grain size dependence of GBCD in ordinary polycrystalline materials produced by thermomechanical processing, the occurrence of a high fraction of law energy boundaries is predicted in fine grained materials However, since the GBCD depends strongly on processing method, a study of GBCD in nanocrystalline materials produced by well defined processing method is indispensable to full understanding and the grain boundary design and control for nanocrystalline materials.
