| 21. | This leads to the decrease of grain boundary strengthening effect.
|
| 22. | However, a crack that propagates along the grain boundaries is termed an intergranular fracture.
|
| 23. | Grain boundaries are interfaces where crystals of different orientations meet.
|
| 24. | Some of these maps describe grain orientation, grain boundary, diffraction pattern ( image ) quality.
|
| 25. | At high temperatures, grain boundaries are weaker than grains.
|
| 26. | Irregularities at the grain boundaries in materials can produce dislocations which propagate into the grain.
|
| 27. | Grain boundaries also cause deformation in that they are sources and sinks of point defects.
|
| 28. | The original concentration of solute around the grain boundary will be asymmetrical in most cases.
|
| 29. | Like a grain boundary, a twin boundary has different crystal orientations on its two sides.
|
| 30. | Since grain boundaries are defects in the crystal structure they tend to decrease the creep.
