Grain boundary engineering (GBE) to promote degradation-resistant interfaces in the microstructure usually requires that the grain size remains small so that strength is not compromised. Aspects of grain size measurement and control will be reviewed and discussed for a variety of GBE materials such as copper, nickel, nickel-based alloys and austenitic stainless steels, particularly in the light of the high proportion of annealing twins that constitute the GBE microstructure.

The relative fraction of the special grain boundaries can be increased by thermo-mechanical treatments. During this work, AISI 304-type austenitic stainless steels were plastically deformed and heat treated under different conditions, and then the grain boundary network, which developed during the treatments was investigated. Results showed that cyclic application of large cold rolling (30% reduction of thickness) and quick heat treatment at high temperature (800 °C, 2 minutes) gave the best grain boundary network. A possible reason of this behaviour is that grains which did not recrystallize after the first cycle, stored a high elastic energy, which helped the grain boundary motions in the next cycles. To characterize the developed grain boundary network, different parameters are also suggested in this paper.

Thermomechanically induced strain is a key variable producing accelerated carbide precipitation, sensitization and stress corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless steels (SS). Recent work has indicated that higher levels of strain (above 20%) also produce transgranular (TG) carbide precipitation and corrosion simultaneous with the grain boundary phenomenon in 316 SS. Transgranular precipitates were noted to form primarily on deformation twin-fault planes and their intersections in 316 SS.Briant has indicated that TG precipitation in 316 SS is significantly different from 304 SS due to the formation of strain-induced martensite on 304 SS, though an understanding of the role of martensite on the process has not been developed. This study is concerned with evaluating the effects of strain and strain-induced martensite on TG carbide precipitation in 304 SS. The study was performed on samples of a 0.051%C-304 SS deformed to 33% followed by heat treatment at 670°C for 1 h.

Chemical and structural changes at the grain boundaries were investigated to quantify their influence on fracture behaviour of austenitic stainless steels and model ferritic Fe-Si-P alloys. The balance between the size and the area density of intergranular particles was found to be one of the most decisive factors influencing sensitivity of the steels to intergranular fracture. The precise dependence of the energy of intergranular fracture on the phosphorus grain boundary concentration was also determined.
