Title: Orientation dependence of grain-boundary energy in metals in the view of a pseudoheterophase dislocation core model

Journal Article · · Acta Metall.; (United States)

A new dislocation model for symmetric tilt grain boundaries was developed as a basis for deriving the quantitative dependence of grain-boundary energy upon misorientation angle in the form of an expression similar to that given by Read and Shockley (Phys. Rev. 78: 275(1950)). The range of applicability of this equation was extended to over 20 degrees. A comparison of theory and experiment was made for Bi, Ag, Cu, and Fe--Si 3 percent in the teen-degree range of misorientation angles and for Au, ..cap alpha..-Fe, Mo, and W in the high-angle range.
