Grain Boundary Migration in Metals: Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Applications

By Gunter Gottstein and Lasar S. Shvindlerman

Grain boundary migration is key to materials microstructural processes such as recrystallization and is essential to the creation of new materials. While this importance is reflected in the literature, this is the first book to focus on the thermodynamics, kinetics, and applications of individual grain boundary migration in metals. This authoritative work contains a wealth of data focused on the experimental techniques in the study of single grain boundary motion and grain boundary systems with junctions and is the only one to discuss grain boundary junction motion. Worked problems are included throughout to help readers master the material.
