Abstract

By analysing the relevant results in the literature, we have found that, when indentation is made on a subgranular level, the hardness varies roughly inversely with the square root of the distance between the indent and the grain boundary. This effect is analogous to the Hall-Petch effect for macroscopic deformation.
