Abstract

This report will summarize the efforts and results of the research conducted by John Bean on the role of grain boundary misorientations in intergranular cracking of copper-based metals. This research was conducted during the period of Sept. 1993 toApril1994. I was not able to prove all that I had originally proposed to do because of certain difficulties I will explain below. My research was ended when the equipment I was using was moved at the end of the 1994 winter semester. This report will briefly describe the purpose of my research and the difficulties that I encountered.
