Abstract
Abstract The current research on grain boundary dynamics in metals is reviewed. The boundary dynamics, i. e., the boundary reaction to applied forces, is strongly dependent on the grain boundary character, which is commonly reduced to the orientation relationship between adjacent grains and impurity segregation at the boundary. The misorientation dependence of the motion of specific capillary driven grain boundaries, the effect of inclination on the mobility of planar boundaries and the dislocation absorption by moving boundaries are considered. The role of segregation behaviour and boundary crystallography for the orientation dependence of boundary mobility is addressed. The compensation effect for the motion of structurally different grain boundaries is discussed.
