Abstract

Hastelloy C-276 was subjected to 10% deformation and annealed at 1100 °C for different time. The fractions of Σ3n (n=1, 2, 3) boundaries and the connectivity of random boundary networks were characterized by electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD). The results show that the Σ3 boundary fraction is hardly increased during the annealing period. Instead, the fractions of Σ9 and Σ27 boundaries have a dramatic change with annealing time, whose peaks are arisen after annealing for 15 min. Meanwhile, the corresponding connectivity of random boundary network is effectively disrupted. This can be attributed to the incoherent Σ3 boundary producing more Σ9 and Σ27 boundaries and incorporating those boundaries into the random boundary networks. Actually, the connectivity of random boundary networks can be definitely identified by Σ(9+27)/Σ3 radio.
