Abstract

In the present study, the capillary equilibrium along the triple junctions of grain boundaries (GB) was analyzed. The values of GB energy torque terms were estimated for an 18-μm-thick copper foil with {110} texture from the dihedral angles formed between the intersections of the GB planes and the sample surface and dihedral angles between the GB planes joined at a triple junction. The average value of the torque term was found to be greater than 15 pct of the GB energy.
