Abstract

A brief introduction of the historical background of grain boundary engineering for structural and functional polycrystalline materials is presented herewith. It has been emphasized that the accumulation of fundamental knowledge about the structure and properties of grain boundaries and interfaces has been extensively done by many researchers during the past one century. A new approach in terms of the concept of grain boundary and interface engineering is discussed for the design and development of high performance materials with desirable bulk properties. Recent advancements based on these concepts clearly demonstrate the high potential and general applicability of grain boundary engineering for various kinds of structural and functional materials. Future prospects of the grain boundary and interface engineering have been outlined, hoping that a new dimension will emerge pertaining to the discovery of new materials and the generation of a new property originating from the presence of grain boundaries and interfaces in advanced polycrystalline materials.
previous article Preface to the special issue on intergranular and interphase boundaries in materials
next article A review of some elements in the history of grain boundaries, centered on Georges Friedel, the coincident ‘site’ lattice and the twin index

The 85% rolled sheet specimens were prepared by ordinary or magnetic annealing at 973 K (T/T c = 0.95, T c: the Curie temperature) for 6 h. The average grain size of annealed specimens was almost similar for the three alloys, namely the density of grain boundaries was kept at almost similar level, although there was some difference less than twice for Fe–0.02at%Sn alloy. The frequency of random boundaries which can be preferential sites for segregation was almost 80% for the three alloys. The fracture toughness was measured by the three-point bending test. The details of the experimental procedure are presented in the original paper [139].
