Abstract

The coincidence site lattice (CSL) plays a similar role for grain boundaries (GB) as the crystal lattice plays for free surfaces. The most densely packed CSL is the twin-related CSL, characterized by an inverse density of coincidence sites Σ = 3. Phase diagrams in coordinates “relative temperature T/T m—misorientation angle θ—inclination angle φ” were constructed for the twin GBs in Cu, Al, and Mo having different stacking fault energy γ. At low γ the twin GB remains faceted at all φ values and the number of crystallographically different facets increases with decreasing temperature. With increasing γ asymmetric twin GBs become more and more rough, and fewer facets appear with decreasing temperature. Also, with increasing γ the facets start to degenerate of into the first order rough-to-rough ridges. The behavior of twin GBs in Cu, Al, and Mo is compared with that of twin GBs in Zn.
