Internal friction studies indicate that grain boundaries in copper polycrystals can slide under an applied shear stress at about 500K. The authors have found a method which allows them to examine grain boundary sliding (GBS) in copper at such low temperatures without activating crystal dislocations. That is, b.c.c. Fe-Co and fine coherent f.c.c. Fe-Co particles precipitate on boundaries and in a Cu matrix, respectively, by aging a Cu-Fe-Co alloy. The f.c.c. particles strengthen the Cu matrix. The boundary particles have the Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship to one of the abutting grains; {l_brace}111{r_brace}{sub f}//{l_brace}011{r_brace}{sub b}. The moire fringes are formed on the b.c.c. particles by the interference between the 111{sub f} and 011b reflections. Using the moire fringe method, the authors have examined systematically the inherent capability of GBS for various [011] symmetric tilt boundaries and for various [011] twist boundaries below 573 K. It has been concluded that grain boundaries slide in a viscous manner with inherent viscosity.
