Abstract
The effect of grain boundary type on intergranular oxidation was studied in a nickel-40at%iron alloy. It has been found that intergranular oxidation takes place preferentially at random boundaries while low-Σ coincidence boundaries, particularly Σ3, Σ11, Σ19 and Σ27 coincidence boundaries have excellent oxidation resistance. The grain boundary engineering for the control of oxidation-assisted intergranular brittleness has been attempted by taking account important roles of the grain size, the grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) and the grain boundary connectivity. The presence of an optimal grain boundary microstructure for this purpose has been predicted.
