Additional information
This work, which appeared in a 3.76 IF journal and has 10 citations so far, was funded by EPSRC grant EP/C51260X. A methodology for assessing the effectiveness of grain boundary engineering (GBE), based Σ3 length fraction and Σ9/Σ3 number ratio, was proposed and validated. The findings establish the effectiveness of Σ3 interfaces as barriers to plastic flow. This provides a convenient index for future work. The impact of this paper (and others)led to two keynote papers at international conferences, ‘ITAP-3’ and ‘Thermec2009’. The work also spawned a collaboration with a group in Germany (dagmar.dietrich@mb.tu-chemnitz.de) and a subsequent publication .
