Abstract
In order to understand the factors dominating grain boundary sliding, stress change tests and stress reversal tests were conducted on aluminum bicrystal specimens with high angle grain boundaries. It is found that small change in stress results in the remarkable change in the rate of grain boundary sliding. Stress reversal tests showed that grain boundary slide hardening does not work for the sliding to the direction opposite to that before the stress reversal. Mean internal stresses for the dislocations contributing to grain boundary sliding are experimentally measured by a method consisting of stress change and annealing. It is found that the velocity of dislocations in the grain boundary is in proportion to the mean effective stress.
