Abstract

We present a review of systematic studies of diffusion induced grain boundary migration (DIGM). The results are compared with structural models for the grain boundaries in order to assess the effects of structure upon DIGM. The nucleation of DIGM is also assessed in the light of grain boundary structure and it is demonstrated that changes of grain boundary solute concentration can induce large enough energy changes to drive novel grain boundary dissociation reactions.
