Abstract

Grain boundary engineering (GBE) processing schedules, involving low-strain (5% deformation) iterative treatments, have been carried out on copper. Misorientation and grain boundary plane statistics have been derived, plus tensile and hardness measurements. The Σ3 length fraction and Σ9/Σ3 number ra...
