<strong>Grain</strong> <strong>Boundary</strong> <strong>Energy</strong><br />

• First categorization of boundary type is into low-angle<br />

versus high-angle boundaries. Typical value in cubic<br />

materials is 15° for the misorientation angle.<br />

• Typical values of g.b. energies vary from<br />

0.32 J.m -2 for Al to 0.87 for Ni J.m -2 (related to bond<br />

strength, which is related to melting point).<br />

• Read-Shockley model describes the energy variation<br />

with angle for low-angle boundaries successfully in<br />

many experimental cases, based on a dislocation<br />

structure.
