Though there developed same concentrations of special grain boundaries (SBs) in grain boundary engineered (GBE) austenitic stainless steel (304 stainless steel) and a Pb-Ca based alloy, the makeup of SBs, size distribution of clusters of grains with ∑3n (n=1,2,3) orientation relationships (∑3n CG), and grain orientations (textures) are quite different between the two specimens, suggesting there have two different mechanisms separately governing the evolution of grain boundary character distributions (GBCDs) in the two types of materials during GBE processing.

The grain boundary character distributions (GBCDs) of two 304-type austenitic stainless steel samples, which are cold rolled with the same thickness reduction of 6% and then subjected to different annealing treatments are examined by Electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The results indicate that, after 6% cold rolling, the two-step annealing (900°C/1 h+1050°C/5 min, Sample B) resulted in a quite different GBCDs compared with that obtained by single-step annealing (1050°C/5 min, Sample A) regardless of nearly the same fractions of S3 boundaries developed in the two samples. It was evidenced that large-sized cluster of grains interfaced by S3n boundaries (S3n CG) emerged in sample B, in which there are moderate preferential grain orientation distribution and {111} grain boundary plane distributions. Further discussions highlighted that, in the case of two-step annealing, the first annealing at relatively low temperature (900°C) for short time (1h) contributes a lot to the final optimization of GBCD and strain induced preferential boundary migration (SIBM) accompanied by multiple twinning via the migration and interactions between mobile S3n boundaries, especially incoherent S3 boundaries, might be the responsible mechanisms.
