Abstract

In-situ straining experiments on nanocrystalline (nc) and ultra fine grain (UFG) Aluminum were performed at room and intermediate temperatures. Both materials exhibit significant stress assisted grain growth. The strain induced by grain boundary motion has been measured in UFG Al, and was found to be on the order of a few percents. These results cannot be interpreted solely within the framework of Displacement Shift Complete (DSC) dislocation motion. We propose here that GB motion occurs via both shuffling and secondary DSC dislocation motion.
