Abstract

Grain boundary sliding is a significant deformation mechanism of metals at high temperatures and low stress levels. In such an environment grain boundary sliding plays an important part in the creep behavior of metals. The relative motion of the boundaries creates a non-uniform flow field inside each grain with stress concentrations at the grain junctions.
