The present knowledge on grain boundary-related phenomena specific for severely
plastically deformed materials is reviewed and critically analyzed in detail. Severe plastic …

Inconel 718 fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) was used to investigate the evolution
of grain boundary (GB) network structures from as-SLM to heat-treated (HT) samples. Using …

We introduce the Voronoi fundamental zone (VFZ) framework which is useful for grain
boundary (GB) structure–property models and gaining insights about the nature of a five …

One of the biggest challenges in develo** truly bottom-up models for the performance of
polycrystalline materials is the lack of robust quantitative structure–property relationships for …

Grain boundary engineering (GBE) is one of the most successful processing strategies to
improve the properties of polycrystalline solids. However, the extensive thermomechanical …

Grain boundary networks (GBNs) have a profound influence on the properties of both
structural and functional materials. However, existing methods to characterize their complex …

This paper employs first principles to calculate the elastic modulus and anisotropies of β-TiX
(X= Nb/Zr) disordered models. Based on the special quasi-random structures (SQS) theory …

Mechanical failure of polycrystalline metals is often difficult to predict, in part because of the
wide range of conditions under which individual elements of the material's microstructure …

This paper investigates the heterogeneous nucleation interface resulting from the addition of
Al element to TiCu alloy, focusing on the essential phases Ti 2 Cu and TiCu. Employing first …

Experimental grain boundary engineering studies have demonstrated the potential for
materials properties enhancement via the modification of grain boundary network structure …
