Abstract

Advances in automated electron diffraction techniques, microstructural modeling, and the understanding of structure-property relationships for grain boundaries have resulted in the emergence of grain boundary engineering as a formidable tool for cost-effectively achieving enhanced performance in commercial polycrystalline materials (i.e., metals, alloys, and ceramics). In this article, some applications for grain boundary engineering technology that have been developed during the past several years are presented.
