Abstract

Grain boundary design for desirable mechanical properties of polycrystalline materials is discussed on the basis of the intrinsic structure-dependent mechanical properties, particularly deformation and fracture of grain boundaries. The importance of the grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) is emphasized which is a new microstructural parameter controlling the properties of polycrystals. The results of recent studies of GBCD are presented. The potential for grain boundary design for strong and ductile polycrystals through the control of GBCD and boundary inclination is discussed
