Quenching-induced phosphorus segregation to prior austenite grain boundaries in a 0.077 wt pct P-doped 2.25Cr-1Mo steel is examined using field emission gun scanning transmission electron microscopy (FEGSTEM). A phosphorus level of around 1.56 at. pct is observed for the water-quenched sample. In recognition of insufficiently high spatial resolution of the technique for grain boundary composition analysis, the measured results are corrected by an analytical convolution method. The corrected phosphorus segregation level may be up to about 4.7 at. pct. The quenching-induced phosphorus segregation is nonequilibrium segregation and the migration of vacancy-phosphorus complexes plays an important role in the kinetic process. For such a reason, the mechanism for migration of the complexes is discussed in some detail.

Irradiation-induced impurity segregation to grain boundaries is one of the important radiation effects on materials. For this reason, phosphorus segregation to prior austenite grain boundaries in a P-doped 2.25Cr1Mo steel subjected to neutron irradiation is examined using field emission gun scanning transmission electron microscopy (FEGSTEM) with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). The steel samples are irradiated around 270 and 400℃, respectively. The irradiation dose rate and dose are ～1.05×10-8 dpa/s and ～0.042 dpa respectively for 270℃ irradiation, and 1.7×10－8 dpa/s and 0.13 dpa respectively for 400℃ irradiation. The FEGSTEM results indicate that there is no apparent phosphorus segregation during 270℃ irradiation but there is some during 400℃ irradiation

The wetting behavior of molten Bi on polycrystalline Cu substrate and single crystal Cu substrate was studied by the sessile drop method in the temperature range from 673 to 873K. At low temperature the wetting behaviors of molten Bi on both types of Cu substrate were similar. However, at high temperature, the equilibrium contact angle of polycrystalline Cu substrate was lower than that of single crystal Cu substrate, because the preferred dissolution of grain boundaries leads to a smaller liquid/solid interfacial energy for polycrystalline Cu substrate. The formation mechanism of arrow-shaped Cu grains at the Bi/single crystal Cu interface is also discussed.

The influence of the grain boundary on the fatigue behavior was studied by two three-point-bending (TPB) specimens. One TPB specimen was named Bicrystal 1, whose pre-crack was along the grain boundary and the applied load paralleled to pre-crack direction, while the other TPB specimen was named Bicrystal 2, whose the pre-crack was perpendicular to the grain boundary and the applied load paralleled also to the pre-crack. It was found that the rate of the fatigue crack growth of Bicrystal 1 was about a tenfold higher than that of Bicrystal 2. The fatigue behavior of Bicrystal 2 specimens was dependent on the distance between the crack tip and grain boundary. The crack growth rate was highest when the crack tip was at a critical distance to the grain boundary, while the rate was the lowest when the crack tip reached grain boundary. After the crack was over the grain boundary, the crack growth rate increased. The crystallographic finite element method was applied to analyze the stress and strain structure ahead of the crack, in order to reveal the above characteristics of the fatigue behavior. It is the grain boundary-induced redistribution of stresses near the crack tip that induces the difference of fatigue behavior.

The effect of interstitial hydrogen on the cohesion of the Al ∑=11(113) grain boundary (GB) is investigated based on the thermodynamic model of Rice-Wang using the first-principles density function calculation. The results indicate that interstitial H behaves as an embrittler from "strengthening energy" analysis. The reduced GB cohesion due to the presence of H at the GB is attributed to the low affinity between H and Al, and the weakened bonding of Al atomic pairs perpendicular to GB plane.
