Understanding how adjacent materials behave at their borders is an essential part of this process. Grain boundaries are the longest-known crystal defects, but although they were discovered in the mid-eighteenth century, until quite recently, we did not understand them very well. Even now, scientists are still searching for the best ways to comprehensively characterize a material's microstructure--and accurately predict its evolution and behavior. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFills the gap between the physics of grain boundary motion and its engineering practicality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the popular first edition, \u003cstrong\u003eGrain Boundary Migration in Metals: Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Applications, Second Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e focuses extensively on the thermodynamics, kinetics, and applications involved with individual grain boundary migration in metals. However, this new volume adds a decade's worth of new developments in research and methods. It offers an up-to-date overview of current knowledge of the grain boundary migration process, and it details how migration influences microstructural evolution, including the recrystallization process and the creation of new materials. The authors rely on well-defined geometry and crystallography to address key topics such as grain growth, textures, and the properties and behavior of grain boundaries, particularly the nonlinear interaction of boundary elements. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis invaluable second edition: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the latest techniques and computer simulations used in the study of single-grain boundary motion and grain boundary systems with junctions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides the latest experimental data of grain boundary free volume measurements and offers the first measurements of grain boundary junction line tension \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes new problems with solutions \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a solid foundation on which you can build your understanding of the migration phenomenon, this book should be required reading for researchers in areas such as interface physics and materials science of microstructure evolution and property control.
