Abstract

The topography of grain boundary thermal grooves in the Ni-rich NiAl is studied by the atomic force microscopy. It is demonstrated how the processes of grain boundary sliding and surface faceting modify the shape of the grooves. The quantitative theory of grain boundary grooving that takes into account the above complications is developed. The great potential of grooving studies for the analysis of microstructure evolution is emphasized.
