Grain boundaries are interfaces that separate different crystallographic regions, known as grains, within a polycrystalline material. In nanomaterials, grain boundaries play a crucial role in ...

EQUILIBRIUM segregation of impurities or solute elements has frequently been suggested as a cause of grain boundary embrittlement in metals and metallic compounds, but the evidence has been ...

In cooling through this zone, ferrite is precipitated on the austenite grain boundaries. As the temperature is reduced ... The remaining austenite then transforms to pearlite as the sample is cooled ...

By analyzing the Kikuchi patterns using specialized software, researchers can determine the crystal orientation, phase, and grain boundary characteristics at each point on the sample surface. EBSD is ...
