Microstructure, mechanical behavior and stress corrosion cracking susceptibility in ultrafine-grained Al-Cu alloy

TL;DR: In this paper, the simultaneous impact of ECAP processing on microstructure, mechanical strength and SCC resistance of an Al-4wt.%Cu alloy, in comparison with a commercially pure aluminum, is evaluated by optical and electronic microscopy, while mechanical response was evaluated by hardness measurements and tensile tests.

Diffusional Viscosity of a Polycrystalline Solid

TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that mosaic boundaries and boundaries between grains of nearly the same orientation may not serve as sources or sinks of the diffusion currents, in which case the creep rate will depend only on the configuration of grain boundaries having a sizable orientation differen...
