Abstract

A growing focus of material science research is relating material properties to grain boundary geometry. The purpose of my research has been to improve current methods of determining grain boundary geometry and to relate interface geometry to sensitization of AISI type 304 stainless steel. Sensitization is the formation of chromium carbides that occurs in a temperature range of 500-800 °C, and makes the material more susceptible to intergranular stress corrosion cracking and stress corrosion cracking.
