Abstract
The last chapter is devoted to the relationship between segregation and other metallurgical phenomena such as grain boundary cohesion, corrosion and diffusion. Principles of temper, hydrogen and dynamic embrittlement are given and the role of grain boundary chemistry is emphasised. The most important examples of the effect of grain boundary segregation on interfacial corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking are shown. Fundamentals of grain boundary diffusion are given and the relationship between this phenomenon and interfacial segregation is displayed. Last part of this chapter is devoted to the recent progress in producing technologies of polycrystalline materials with optimum properties – Grain Boundary Engineering. Principles of this concept together with practical applications are outlined.
