Grain Boundary Phenomena of Functional Ceramics

  • Chapter

  • 2103 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter describe various grain boundaries phenomena related to materials properties including:

  1. 1.

    Grain-boundary segregation;

  2. 2.

    Functions of grain-boundary in mass transfer during sintering;

  3. 3.

    Continuity and coherence of grain boundary;

  4. 4.

    Grain boundary under tensile or compressive stress;

  5. 5.

    Grain boundary serves as “source” and “sink” for vacancies;

  6. 6.

    Grain boundary migration and abnormal grain growth in sintering;

  7. 7.

    Grain boundary acts as captive centers & space charge accumulation spots.
