Abstract
Grain boundary character distributions (GBCD) of type 304 stainless steel cold rolled and then annealed at 1173K were analyzed by electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD). The results showed that low strain (~6%) followed by long-time annealing (96h) resulted in a GBCD containing a high fraction of Σ9 and Σ27 boundaries. The connectivity of general high angle grain boundary (HAB) network was interrupted significantly by Σ3n(n=1,2,3) boundaries(special boundaries).
