Abstract

In this study the grain boundary sliding (GBS) behaviour driven by a constant shear rate or shear force was investigated for the AI E5 (210) grain boundary at 500-700K. It is found that regardless of the type of driving force, the bi-crystal system tended to resist the force applied by GB rotation which resulted from the surface strain, GB migration, or GB coupled motion.
