Extract

Solute-atom segregation to grain boundaries has been of interest since the 1930's when it was realized that some steels were susceptible to failure by intergranular fracture when certain impurities were present. Segregation of impurities or intentionally added alloying elements at grain boundaries can greatly affect various grain boundary properties, which in turn affect numerous macroscopic properties. Materials phenomena that have been linked to grain boundary segregation include temper brittleness, fatigue strength, adhesion, precipitation, diffusional creep, intergranular corrosion, and grain boundary diffusivity. Although grain boundary segregation has been extensively studied for many years, the effects of different grain boundary structures on segregation was generally not considered. It has been established both experimentally and theoretically that the level of segregation varies from grain boundary to grain boundary in the same alloy, but there is little direct information on how grain boundary structure influences segregation.
