Woodhead Pub Superplasticity & Grain Bounda

The book discusses a number of problems associated with grain boundaries in polycrystals. The role of the grain boundaries in processes such as grain boundary diffusion, relaxation and grain growth is investigated. The authors explore the formation and evolution of the microstructure, texture and ensembles of the grain boundaries in materials produced by severe plastic deformation. The book is of interest to metallurgists and researchers concerned with the problems of nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Published in association with Cambridge International Science Publishing.
